Specs: JDM 89 B16 Y1
I decided to put locktite on my flywheel bolts (I heard it wasnt neceeeary but might as well) before I put my new clutch on, when i looked at the back of the flywheel however, there was a little bit of (new) motor oil on it. Im assuming I need a new crank seal..

Is thos most likely my problem?

Can I just order one for a 99-00 si? or a VTEC DelSol?

thanks guys

 

When ever you do a clutch if you don't know when the last time was that your engine had a seal I put one in. You already there and they are so cheap.

 

thats a good point, so can i just order one from a 99-00 si?

thanks by the way

 

It's almost always a good idea to change the rear main seal while you've got the flywheel off.

B/D/F/H-series engines pretty much all use the same rear main seal, 80x100x10. Part number 91214-PLE-003.

wow thanks alot man!

 

I installed a new one tonite, and I was wondering: should it be flush with the "cover" it sits in? or should it stick out a little?

thanks guys

 

tryign to reinstall tranny/motor this weekend.. anyone know how it should sit?

 

It needs to ride on a different part of the crank than it originnally did. Some seals are offset to compensate for this.

 

i am pretty sure it should be pretty flush with the block

im not quite sure what you mean, but if you could elaborate that would be great can anyone confirm this? the new seal seemed to be a tad bit shorter than the origional one, (depth wise)
