seal size

Post by bobajob »

Hi,

I've removed the lip seal that goes between the crankshaft and oil gallery in the engine casing but it's in such a state that I can't read the size, anyone know what I should be shopping for?

Also I've removed the cam shaft seal from the same casing. This shows 1326/5. I'm assuming this translates to 13mm id, 26mm od x 5mm so will this do the job: 13x26x5mm Nitrile Rubber Rotary Shaft Oil Seal R21 / SC ?

Thanks for your help!

You should invest in a cheap pair of Vernier, dial, or digital calipers, then you could simply measure the seals. I've got multiple pairs in the workshop, house and at work.

You're reading the size information correctly and the crank end-feed seal is listed as a 15 24 7

Both are single lip types as I recall.

Thanks Paul I appreciate your help.

Good advice regarding vernier etc, the difference between applying some skill and knowledge rather than just swapping parts.
