Post subject: | Crank seals. |
Can anyone advise on the correct way around the crank seals go? I have read the haynes mannual,but it is not clear about the front one.As far as i can see,the rear one goes in lips facing out and the front one is lips facing in.(size and manufacture name facing front of engine). Can anyone advise please.(I would have thought they would both be lips facing in) ![]() |

Hi Viking,that seal looks like it is installed with the lip facing in.What do you think? |

The open side of seals should always face the oil. |

Just as I thought,lips facing in.The old seal (rear) was installed wrong,lips facing out.I'm sure the haynes mannual says install rear seal with name and size facing forward! |
