350B Front Crank Seal

Post by Kaiverol » Sun Jun 19, 2022 12:08 pm

I just installed a new front crank seal in my timing cover and drove it to the bottom trying to keep it straight. I know the seal I removed was driven flush to the cover surface. Therefore, the seal now sits about 1/8” deeper.

Is this ok?

Reckon it should still do it's job since the journal is the same size as 1/8" before it...maybe even better if there was previous wear.

Thanks. I know there is the usual wear groove on the shaft, so may sit on pristine surface now. I should be able to tackle getting out to my machine the week.
