DEREEL Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 After doing a leak down test on my new build, no leaks were found accept for the crankshaft seal on the clutch side. It has a pretty nasty leak around the collar of the primary gear. Its only leaking at one spot, but the leak moves as u rotate the gear. I took the gear off and used a scotch brite pad to make sure the collar was very clean and didnt have any burs or imperfection causing it to leak. Put it back on making sure the washer convex side was facing the correct way, torqued it to spec and it still fkn leaks!!! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Quote
Finch Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 did ya cover the crank key in sealer before putting it on? Quote
DEREEL Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah i used three bond and let it cure fully for three days before trying the leak down again. Quote
Finch Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 and on that key if theres any scratched or a lip on it wont work at all fought that myself this winter Quote
DEREEL Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Posted April 2, 2013 Nah its seals i got from a site sponsor. Was yours leaking around the collar next to seal and moving as u turned the gear? Quote
DEREEL Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Posted April 2, 2013 Also forgot to mention its stock gears, not straight cut. Quote
