Hey guys, Alec here. I've pulled my 4k out and i'm rebuilding currently and i can't for the life of me remember which way this seal goes in. I can't remember what its called, my workshop manual is downstairs. But its the seal that goes into the circular mount (don't worry there are pics haha) that slips over the crankshaft on the back of the engine.
ok. These are the parts, the circular mount and the seal.
Now the seal has two sides, one with a recess and the other side is flat. This is the recessed side
Now finally here's my question haha. It goes in this way right? with the recessed side down.
I understand that it needs to be oiled and stuff but my workshop manual specifies that the seal has to be pushed in the same depth as the old one was. Now i don't know this? I didn't take a damn photo, will this be highly detrimental to the engine's life or how it will run?
Thanks guys
EDIT: thought i'd chuck in a pic of the engine so you guys can have a look. I'm going to make a build thread too, but i just need this info post haste :happy:
