LaegerEliminator Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have just completed a top and bottom end rebuild. While performing the pressure test I am losing air on the pto side of the crank from the drive gear, water pump gear and key area. This should NOT be happening.....Right? I am running Hinson Straight Cut Gears. Help PLEASE!! Need Input. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaegerEliminator Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 To clarify, I am losing air at the crank and not from the seal when I spray soapy water on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 did you yamabond the key way and did you oil the seals before installing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaegerEliminator Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 did you yamabond the key way and did you oil the seals before installing them? No to the Yamabond. Yes to the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 take the pto gear back off. clean the key really well and the snout and yamabond it all the way around the key and try your test the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycanuck Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Same as above. Mine leaked once and it haven't gone without it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaegerEliminator Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Alrighty guys Thanks! I was told NOT to put sealant on the key and crankshaft by another source. A guy can't seem to get a consistent or straight answer on certain things at times. Kinda like going to the doctor at times. Just opinions from experience.
