I'm installing a new RMS in a 2.0 4 banger. The last one I did leaked when I was finished anyway. I always prep the seal surface with grease or oil or something. What would those that have loads of experience use on the seal surface? I vaguely recall hearing about using ATF, but I don't know if that's the best idea or not. Thought I'd ask the gang what you thought.
Also, I want to clean up the flywheel surface where it contacts the seal. What's should I use t polish it up a little bit without doing any damage to the surface? Gracias! |
