luke.t. Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Hey guys just wondering if anyone has a crankshaft out of a 4k that they can measure for me (with precision equipment) the standard size of the crankshaft where the rear main seal is. I stupidly had the gearbox out and didnt check it when i last did the rear main and its leaking again. It had a groove from the old rear main so i tried to just reposition the seal. That didnt work cos its done approx 1000kms with no issues but now is leaking like a teabag. I would do it myself but don't have the correct tools to get precise measurements. I will be speedy sleeving the crank if your wondering why i need measurments. or maybe someone knows the correct sized sleeve to get? cheers for the help Quote
ke70dave Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 not entirely sure what you are asking, but if you grab a 4k engine manual wont that give you the oem tolerances of the shaft? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1981-1985-TOYOTA-K-Series-Engine-Manual-Corolla-Liteace-Starlet-/120824061024?pt=AU_Clothing_Merchandise_Media&hash=item1c21acdc60 this is the one you want. i has one (well my dad does), and its anything you ever wanted to know about oem k motors, directly from toyota.

luke.t. Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 I'm after the size of the rear part of the crankshaft. When you install a rear main seal the surface of the crank that sits on. so the diameter of the crank where the rear main seal sits lol.... The old seal has worn a groove and i need to sleeve it so it wont leak anymore. Quote
Evan G Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 just make the seal stick out 1mm so it sits on a new surface. Quote
SLO-030 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Speedy sleeve FTW. The rear main I have sitting here is 92mm OD, 70mm ID 8.5mm Wide. Quote
