How to align the rear crankshaft oil seal of the Santana?
1 Answers
With the timing belt properly aligned, align the small hole on the gear ring inside the rear crankshaft oil seal with the small post at the lower right corner of the oil seal holder. This requires a special tool. Relevant instructions are as follows: 1. To solve the issue of crankshaft oil seal leakage, the currently produced engines are equipped with a split-type rubber rear oil seal. The installation method must strictly follow the technical requirements: First, clean the oil seal groove thoroughly, apply a layer of sealant on the side of the groove, and pay attention to the installation direction—the side of the oil seal with a groove should face the sixth cylinder side of the engine. 2. After installing the oil seal, fill the empty groove between the oil seal lips with grease, then apply a layer of sealant on the mating surface of the oil seal. The two half-circle components of the same oil seal must be installed on the same engine to avoid damage to the circular component, which could prevent proper mating at the joint and affect the oil sealing effect.
