Ok guys-i need help with installing the rear main seal. replaced once with stock ering with no special procedures and it leaked. replaced with stock victor reinz with a light coat of hondabond(let set up for 3 days) and it leaked.
what is the trick here? 1. The ering was a little bit thinner than the victor reinz-10mm vs. 11.5mm. 2. The original was an ering. 3. Is there a special method for using permetex or the hondabond type of sealent? Any help would be appreciated, because i have been working on this pos for about 9 months and i am running out of stuff to replace. i am so close to having a daily runner, but i can't get this seal right.......HELP.......... Thanks, craig |

The best way I've found to reproduce a good flywheel sealing surface is to install a "Quick Sleeve". They are available through NAPA stores in the 75mm diameter needed. I've also found that a liberal amount of 90 weight gear oil works better than plain motor oil. It lasts longer during the period between installation and operation.
Good luck... |

It may not be leaking between the case and the seal, it might be leaking between the seal and the flywheel. |

Even so, dress the hub lightly with some emory cloth or super fine grit paper. If the flywheel is used, look very closely for grooves or pitting from rust. Flywheels in this condition may never seal. btw, I feel your pain. Last time I did this it took a couple of tries before it sealed properly. My issue revolved around seating the seal evenly. keep at it and good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
