Suspected duff rear oil seal

(1/2) > >>

brixworth-alan:
Hi All, there's a load of oily crud all in the base of bell housing and around the clutch on my 2.25 petrol engine. I've read that this normally means that theres a leak in the crankshaft oil seal- is that likely to be the case for me and if so is it easy to fix?

cheers
Alan

bogie:
10 min job mate,whip the fly wheel off prize the seal out with out damaging the crank,clean the crank and tap a new seal in which costs about a quid!!

brixworth-alan:
Sounds good- went to buy the seal and i have a choice of 3 bearing or 5 beraing engines. How do i discover which I have?

cheers

This will tell you what you have by engine number. The 3 brg oil (T) seal is a much more fiddly thing to change!

Rats- its a 3 bearing unit.
