I am replacing the rear main seal on my 74 2.0. I have a couple questions.
1st there are 3 shims on the crank that are loose. I know they are supposed to be as the flywheel holds them in place. My question is one of them is cracked. Would it be okay sandwiched between the other 2? 2nd the rear main seal I pulled I can see why it was leaking. Since I didn't put this one in. How do I put the new one in without causing the same problem? There are about 3 lines in the seal with the worst being in the picture. I didn't feel any burrs on the lip. I'd assume just put a little oil on the seal to help slide it in place. Any other tips appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)
