Installation (engine removal not required)
NOTE: The seal surface on the block should be dry.
Apply a light coat of grease to the crankshaft and to the
lips of the seals.

seal until the driver bottoms against the oil pump.
When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease
off the crankshaft and check that the oil seal lip is
not distorted.

seal and the rear cover is 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.01 - 0.02
in) (see page 7-22).

the pin on the crankshaft.
