Crank seals

[Bill]

Hey do any of you use any type of sealer on the outside of the crank seals?

 

If so what do you use(yamabond,RTV,ect...................)

 

Thanks,

Anybody got some info on this subject?

I put a thin layer of yamabond all the way around the outside of the seals. Not sure if your suppost to but it made me feel better.

I've changed crank seals twice, once in an old engine when they failed & in a brand new engine after having the crank welded & did not use any sealant on the seal itself & have never had any problems with those installations. I do however put a film of grease on the inside of the seal where the crank protrudes through.

Yea that's what I was thinking, the last thing I want is to put the case halves together and have a fuckin leak around the seals.

I apply a thin layer of HondaBond on the crank seals as well, and I always use new seals. I also pack the inside with white lithium grease. I have never had any problems with my seals. My buddy does the same thing...

I also use some grease on the inside of the seal, but no sealant on the outside. Have never had any problems.
