nwgreaser Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Anybody know the part number for a front crank seal on a 218 flattie? Is it a rope seal like the rear? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
grey beard Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Your front crank seal is a lip seal that is driven into the timing cover after it is removed. It seals around the front crank pulley. Please know that there are about three other likely spots that can cause oil leaks in that same immediate area - front corners of the oil pan, front pan cork seal, etc. Quote

It slides right in between the seal and the crank and insures against leaks and more wear on your crank. Quote
