Rear Main Seal Question

[Scout238]

Changed rear main? IN HERE

Alright, this may seem confusing/or retarded.... but I want to make sure I do it right. Don't talk s*** oke: Any help is appreciated

Installing the rear main seal.... I can't remember how it should go, and can't find a pic. When you are pushing it on the end of the crank, should the little flap stay with the same orientation around the crank? Or should it catch the end of the crank and the flap be the last part on the crank? In a way the seal kind of "extending" as you put it on the crank.

I did it one way, and it's leaking.... so going in to fix it and want to make sure it's right.

Thanks:beer:

not many of these cars need a rear main, so I dunno.

the lil flap side should be going in the direction of the front of the motor and the side that is flat (the back side of it) should be facing to the rear of the car. the actual seal itself (the angled flap part) is suppose to face down...it only goes on one way in referenece to what I first stated. good luck!

:??::??:from my understanding and experience, the rear main leaking on these cars is pretty common.
