HELP: rear main seal leaking again.........
i have an 1997 h22a4 and had a bad clutch slip due to a bad rear main seal any help would be appreciated
first i removed tranny had flywheel resurfaced and replaced rea main seal replaced clutch and put tranny back on an ran grat then 2 days later what do you know its leaking again so we take it back off and the seal is still leaking am i missing somthing? we instaled te seal correctly and the seal retainer isnt leaking but maybe there is a common or known problem any help would be very much apreciated what are the feeler gauge clearances for the seal to crankshaft. thanks

after I took it apart again I used the biggest feeler gauge I had (.027) between the seal and the crank, It went in and all around with no resistance, maybe I just got the wrong seal

Re: HELP: rear main seal leaking again.........
after a while the rear main seals wear a groove into the crank, if you by chance lined up the lip on the new seal with that groove it will probably leak on ya
