4.0L ohv front main seal.

[MDK231]

So I put in a new front main seal and a new harmonic balancer on as well. Pressed in the new seal and began to work the balancer on. As I put the balancer on I watched the dust shield on the balancer push the seal in further. That was it work work tonight.

Assuming I need to pull the balancer and set the seal in further? Or will it be fine?

Thanks

Its been a long time but think both the 4.0 OHV & SOHC, the front crank seal is countersunk a whole bunch & requires a special installation tool to set it correctly, or it will leak....

Do you recall if it was flush or deep when you removed it?
That would tell you.

You cant just have the dampner set the depth & expect it to not leak....
