Crankshaft Seal, Front - Installation
NOTE: ‘‘LDL TFE’’ (Lay-down Lip, Teflon) oil seals for ser-
vice replacement have an assembly tool which protects the
seal lip during shipment and installation. The ‘‘LDL TFE’’ oil
seal must be installed with the lip of the seal and the crank-
shaft clean and dry. Do not use any kind of lubricant. The
use of lubricant will result in oil leakage at the seal.
Use hand pressure to push the oil seal from the assembly
tool onto the crankshaft as far as possible. Remove the
assembly tool.
Install top plate, Part No. ST-1259-1, (from oil seal puller/
installer, Part No. ST-1259) on the crankshaft; and use
three vibration damper mounting capscrews and flat
washers.
Tighten the three capscrews alternately in 1/2 turn in-
crements until top plate, Part No. ST-1259-1, seats against
the crankshaft nose.
Remove the oil seal puller/installer, Part No. ST-1259.
Camshaft Bearing Support - Installa-
tion
Install the support bearing in the bore of the gear cover.
Do not install the o-ring on the support at this time.
Push the support against the camshaft so the camshaft
gear rests against the camshaft thrust washer.
Hold the support against the camshaft, and use a feeler
gauge to measure the space between the gear cover
flange and the support bearing.
