Crank seal (on transmission side) - should it sit flush or "inside" edge? (VR6)

Recommended Posts

As I'm changing the crank seal there is a edge where you insert the seal, but it's somewhat "rounded" off for easier insert - but should the seal itself sit flush - or should it be pushed as far in so it will sit more or less "flush" with where the "beveling" - or whatever it's called in english ends ?.....

 

 

Any info about this ?

Yea, did so last time me too, but got a leak (I do however think it was due to an aftermarked seal, as the OEM one seem to be easier to slide into place, and there is some physical differences from the oem one) - but was wondering how it actually sits if one uses the VW Tool and sleeves as refered to in the corrado manual?.

 

Have you had any problems with the seals sitting flush ?

Mine hasn't seemed to leak. Used a vw one the first two times but a Victor reins one this time. Haven't run engine yet though.
