Morning all,

Just tapping in my new rear crank seal.. It's been that long since I took the old one out that I can't remember if it sits flush with the block or goes in much deeper?

Many thanks! I'll put the kettle on whilst I wait for a reply
Luke.

 

I think it goes flush mate but don't know for sure sorry mate

 

Ok, thanks mate..

Anyone else?

 

Press in or tap in till its all the way in and stops and I'm sure you'll find its in a tiny bit rather than flush.

 

Thanks mate! Stopped about 1mm in from flush
Cheers

 

A pic for future reference..

 

Let's hope this one won't leak

 

Yeah that's where mine is.

 

Just to put a spanner in the works, mine was flush.

 

Ford workshop manual says push till it stops. Maybe yours was a bit thicker. Victor reinz always sit in about 1mm as do the ford ones. Not sure about the 2 piece ford one as iv never used them.

 

this is the original seal.

I just pushed the new one in so it looked like the old one.

 

Maybe the originals sat flush im not sure as I can't remember the last time I removed an original one. To be honest I wouldn't matter where it sat as it will seal and work either way.
