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

Are you sure it is the rear main again or maybe a tranny input shaft seal?

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

ould have rolled the lip who knows OEM seal and you should be good. Good to hear.

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
