So I didn't put silicone on the outer front/rear crankseals where it bolts up to the block. I know that when it leaks its the main seals but I replaced them and replaced the oil pump seal. What do you guys think? I personally don't think it will anyone have any stories that did the same thing?

 

they don't require silicone

 

Yeh it dosent seal anything so I don't see why itd be a problem.

 

Make sure its clean, and watch it

 

no leaks wen i put oil in. but 1stime start up on the motor just turns on and dies. dosent hold an idle. any ideas?

 

theyre actually already coated with a sealant around the edge.

-double check timing? what else did you do while you were in there?
