Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Housing: Installation

  1. DO NOT install seal into housing at this time. Clean gasket surfaces of housing and block. Install NEW gasket onto housing bolts to hold it in place. Install seal housing. Finger-tighten bolts so housing can be aligned (centered). Ensure gasket does not protrude beyond oil pan gasket surface.
  2. Apply a thin film of engine oil to inner and outer surfaces of Seal Housing Aligner (J 41349). Install seal housing aligner onto crankshaft, twisting and turning it as necessary to aid installation.
  3. Lay a straightedge across cylinder block oil pan flange and seal housing flange. Using a feeler gauge, ensure there is no more than .004" (.10 mm) step (high or low) on either side. Rotate housing if necessary. If specification cannot be met, replace housing.
  4. Apply engine oil to NEW seal. Using Seal Installer (J 38196), press seal into bore. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
