Put the RMS in too far. It's all even though. Do you think it will leAk?

 

the RX8 seals sit that low normally, so no it isn't in too far.


but anyways i digress. it may leak because your work area cleaning skills suck.

 

It's fine. Actually might be slightly advantageous because the original seal would have worn a groove into the flywheel. You've now moved that new seal out of the groove.

 

Awesome. Thanks guys.

And all that stuff on the crankshaft is fresh grease. I was tryin to get the pilot bearing out with the grease trick. That **** don't work. Ended up going to harbour freight and buying their bearing puller. Besides that, I'm doing all this from under the car, which is on jack stands, so give me a break.

 

I almost posted that. It's an old trick that works well. Clean rotating surface good, no nicks or roughness.

 

Well I got it all back together. Took it for a hard drive and no leaks. Thanks for all the input.
