front engine seal O-320
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:04 pm
My front engine seal, the cut style, was blowing oil out last summer so
I replaced it with a non-cut type. I sealed around it with Permatex Blue
but after another 20 hours or so, it too is blowing oil out. What is the
recommended material for setting this seal in so it actually functions
properly? I suspect from the appearance of the seal that it is not fully
inserted toward the rear and this may have been caused by the blue not
being fully set before I used the engine. The front of the seal is
pretty close to the lip of its seat and I seem to remember it being
deeper when I took the other one our. ???
