What is the "Brain Trust's" opinion as to whether or not to press the rear (near the flywheel) bearing oil seal in with a sealing compound or simply a light smear of oil? If with a seal what type/brand would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your advice. |

I second oil.
For the best/preferred seal search McMark and Mark Henry. I can't remember the brand. |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
Nothing, nada, zip, gar nichts....
and don't put it in too deep, flush with the case or inset just the amount of the small bevel on the bore. Before you put the flywheel on grease the lip with a small amount of bearing grease. Of course measure your endplay before you install the seal. |

I use to have problems with these seals. Changed to the sabo brand and no problems since. Has a bigger, stronger spring.

+1 on the Sabo rear main seal.
I had a Victor Reintz main seal fail on me during startup of a fresh rebuild. Installed a Sabo and had no leaks. I'll be using Sabo's from here on out. |
