Main Engine Seal(s)

[Hardwareman]

Well yeah, you're fine then. I'm talking about actually hitting it with force. A light tap to get it seated should cause no problems. Did you fix the leak?

Thanks DaveR

I changed the front one for now, along with the oil pan gasket and that cover gasket that holds the front seal. I also did the oil pump gasket, but not the o-rings because they only shipped me one and it was the wrong size. I'm thinking of changing out the rear main seal right before dropping the engine in because I need to take the engine off the stand anyways to gain access to it. It should only take a couple minutes. What do you think?

The new seal's already in in this picture but it was a piece of cake. I drove it in and out with my MagLight....lol. It was the perfect diameter.

How did you get your crank sprocket off? I have a 98 2.5L and I'm doing the same thing, replacing the front timing cover. I can't seem to get the sprocket off though?
