Stator side crank seal
How far should they be pushed in?
Do they bottom out against some thing?
Mine is about 4.5 mm in. I kinda thought it was supposed to be flush.

the seal shoud be recessed about .060-.080"
I made a seal seating set I pictured in another thread somewhere, I also recess the pto side and the counter shaft seal just like oem.
yours looks like its good.
I never install my seals until the cases are loaded and assembled, but new honda cases come complete with seals in them already.

Ahh crap. I just did the same thing as you maddog. About 4.5 fully bottomed. I just read the manual it says flush. Maybe I need to learn to read my manual in future. Heres hoping all will be ok. Mines a new crank so surface will be fine, just a tad worried now. I watch this thread with interest and see what you blokes come up with.
13 isnt unlucky i just keep falling off

Having a leak down tester is important. Or you can spray the area with brake clean to kill the motor or starting fluid to raise RPM. I use brake clean or leak down test for better results.coley13 wrote:Ahh crap. I just did the same thing as you maddog. About 4.5 fully bottomed. I just read the manual it says flush.

the seal is .263" deep, the hole is .410"
so you can safely run it .130 deep before i'd worry about it contacting the bearing, having said that It likely wouldnt get wrecked by sitting against the bearing anyways, its sitting against the crank also right.
Its not like the pto side either where it could restrict the oil hole.
