Crankshaft Seal Sealant

[Dan schultz]

The Continental M-0 repair manual has all the info on procedure and sealants to use, on the road and from memory…

Clean bore well with MEK, there is a spray primer that is applied, then the purple case half sealant goes on the bore, then the permatex brown liquid on the seal and install.

When I can I will get the actual numbers of the items.

Thanks, Dan.

One sticking point is that the person who installed the seal retainer plates, 90 degrees off from what the parts diagram shows, did so when the sealant was still wet. I don't think they're going to come off without being bent. Good thing new plates are so cheap. Less than $20 each! :0(
