Crankshaft rear oil seal (page 2 of 2)

Refit

1. Ensure oil seal running surfaces on crankshaft and oil seal housing mating surface on cylinder block are clean and oil free. Ensure oil seal housing bolt and dowel holes are clean and dry.
2. Clean sump flange and mating surfaces of cylinder block, ensure that bolt holes in cylinder block are clean and dry. Remove all traces of sealant.

CAUTION: Do not lubricate oil seal or running surface on crankshaft. Do not separate protector sleeve from oil seal and do not touch lip of seal. If seal is inadvertently handled, it must not be fitted as the coating applied to the seal during manufacture will be destroyed and oil leakage can result.

4. Position oil seal and housing on cylinder block.

NOTE: Oil seal protector sleeve will be displaced as seal and housing are fitted.

5. Fit 5 bolts and working in sequence shown, tighten to 8 Nm.

6. Apply a 1 mm thick bead of sealant from kit, Part No. GUG 705963GM along joint line of seal housing, rear main bearing cap, cylinder block and sump bolt holes adjacent to main bearing cap bolts.

7. Using sealant from kit, fill grooves on each side of number 1 main bearing cap and along joint lines of main bearing cap and cylinder block.
