tabs is the size on the seal? if so i can my engines out i can have a look for you.

 

been over to have a look for you,even with a halogen lamp and magnifying glass i could not make the numbers out they are so small,if you do manage to get one can you let me know where from and how much as im after one also.
if i manage to remove my seal im will be able to get a better look you.

 

Hi,
Yes the seal number is very small, I would have a look at one at my local ford dealer but not a stock item due to age.
The numbers are very small, but will be the usual 3 set numbers like 125-140-10 for example for inner, outer and width.
I've thought of someone who no doubt has them hanging around, forgot he's doing a screamer pinto for someone at the moment, normally does old historic F1 engines, and older stuff than pinto.
I'll keep this thread/you posted I've got a nice cheap place for the seals anyway, very few sizes not made in viton, thought all viton were terracota colour, but there's a nice yellow is some sizes, yay colour co ordinated oil seals!!

do you already have the front crankshaft seal and aux seal?if so how much did they cost.

 

Numbers on the back of mine are V93HF-6701-AA YB1394 2 Any help

 

Thanks for that avid fan, unfortunately not the std 3 figure size number, thanks anyway much appreciated.
Cozzy jeff, yes already have the front and aux seal, they are the same and cost me around Ł9, they are 42-56-7, cams are 35-47-7.

Thanks would be a big help, mates on hols at mo!!

Bit of an old thread but I found it using the search.
I'm also trying to get a rear crank seal but viton say they can't supply the size I need, 79.38x95.25x11 (that's the dimensions marked on the seal I have at the moment) the best they can do is an imperial equivalent which is quite close on the I.D and O.D but only works out around 8.5mm on the thickness.
Does that sound right?

 

A 80mm inner with 95 outer by 11mm(or close to width) will be fine, I'll ask my seal people if you want, you'd get away with 9-13mm width on the seal no doubt though if need be.

Thanks. I'll ring viton again tomorrow and see if they can supply those sizes, if no luck I'll let you know!

 

What's the best way to get the old seals out without having the proper tool? I can't imagine everyone buys the tool just to pull a seal out.

 

I did today,

I've just changed my front one to Viton but would desperately like one for the Rear crank seal on Viton also.



anyone any ideas on where to get one please?

 

Probably best off seeing if tabetha can get one from the people he deals with, I phoned viton direct and they weren't much help, I won't be bothering with them again.

 

Okey doke mate, will do

have some green
