crankshaft seal replacement If you find that the crankshaft clearance is outside the factory specifications, replacing the crankshaft seal will not be a solution for the oil leak you have identified.

Engine adjustment - video 02 adjusting the rocker arms In the first video of this series, we adjusted the valve clearance. In addition to the valve clearance, the position of the rocker arm relative to the valve stem, is also a very important setting. If a rocker arm is not positioned correctly, it can be adjusted, which is called shimming.

crankshaft end play Whether an oil leak is caused by a defective crankshaft seal or O-ring/packaging is not always easy to determine. At the bottom of the engine, near the flywheel, where the gearbox and the engine are connected to each other, you will see traces of engine oil.
crankshaft pulley removal Removing the crankshaft pulley on an engine that has run 100,000 km and more is best not done with just a hammer and brute force. You would prefer to reuse the original crankshaft pulley on your engine, were it not for the budget, also for the factory originality.
