Installation Procedure
Inspect the seal recess (1) for excess sealer material at the lower crankcase to engine block mating location.
- Remove excess sealer, if present.
- Add RTV sealer at the 2 locations (1) where the bedplate and block join prior to installing the oil seal. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe L5Q)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America L5Q) .
- NOTE:
The oil seal must be installed in the correct direction. The side that faces out will have "this side out" printed on it. Depending on seal design, the way the seal is installed on the EN-51369 installer is opposite. Either the seal is installed over the back of the installer, or the seal is installed over the front of the installer. Match the seal design as shown above and install the seal onto the installer in the correct direction.
Install the oil seal (1) in the correct direction on the EN-51369 installer.
- Inspect the seal on EN-51369 installer, and ensure that the seal lip is not deformed. If necessary, remove the seal and reinstall on the special tool.
- Use EN-51369 installer to press the new crankshaft seal into the housing.
- Ensure that the seal is installed in the crankshaft seal bore flush to 0.5 mm (0.2 in) depth.
- Install the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring. Refer to Crankshaft Position Sensor Reluctor Ring Replacement .
If the seal is improperly installed on the special tool, it will not install correctly.
The special tool installs and establishes the proper depth of the seal in the crankshaft seal bore.
