Here is the crank-shaft oil-seal in place, using the plastic insertion tool (not shown) and all new shiny bolts are torqued down to 10 Nm. Sorry, Davy, but I didn’t ensure I had lined up the bolt-heads with each other.
I’ve also put the seal in with assembly lube on the seal surface and the surface of the bearing. It’s horrible sticky stuff, made of cancer I think. I wore gloves.
Hopefully I’ve got it right, because they’re £50 each to replace. and an engine out as well.
So close to perfection…..
You know, I felt dirty writing it, but I followed my torque wrench. I wonder what Apple predictive text makes of “torque wrench” coming after “followed my”.
