| Subject: | front crank seal |
Anybody still here?
Has anybody solved the front crank seal problem? This is my third
leak. Last time I tried the stainless sleeve that's made for
replacement seals. I think I need to machine a new bushing.

Hi Gary,
I had a leaky front crank seal and after cleaning the area thoroughly,
put a ring of 3M adhesive sealant in there all round, let it cure real
well and then fingered in
another ring to get the area covered. No leaks since! Perhaps, the
irregular motion between parts causes the leak and the adhesive flexes
enough to hold things dry.
When speaking of the front seal, I assume it's the end that your redrive
goes on, not the actual Subaru car-crank front end, right?

interesting. did you put it on the seal or the groove in the spacer?
