Crank seal question--am I doing this right?

Post by Rot Box »

I'm helping a friend put crank seals in his 94 CR500 and the flywheel side has me scratching my head. I pushed it in until it stopped which leaves about a 1/4" lip on the outside. He said the old one wasn't pushed in that far. Should it sit flush with the case or did I push it in too far? Will it be ok where its at? It looks like it should work I just don't want to screw it up for him haha.

Thanks!
