CAJUN BANSHEE Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 What are the chances of this seal sealing up once motor is cranked and warmed up or should I say fuck it and tear it down for the third time and put another brand new seal in it.

Nieskes Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I had the same issue the other night, Call me a redneck but I just put another spring on it and filled it with some grease and I no longer have a leak. Will it last? Who the fuck knows........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it last? Who the fuck knows........ I'd probly do the same but this is a brand new cub and a lot of $ invested. Is kick myself in the balls if it shit the bed in a few hours of runtime. I guess I just answered my own ? Might as well tear it back down unless someone chimes in with good news, but I know this is one of those situations were anything could happen.

Nieskes Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Did you apply a litte grease to the crank before you put the seal in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAJUN BANSHEE Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Did you apply a litte grease to the crank before you put the seal in? Yup, but that was Damn near 2 months ago and the crank has been in and out of a few cases. Fuck it, I'm tearing it back down next weekend. Too enexpensive of a part to neglect.

( brand) Not sure, whatever K&T sent with it. No disrespect to K&T but think Im gonna do a little research on crank seals before I order another.

CAJUN BANSHEE Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 So they sent you a motor that was leaking? I'd call and talk to Kim, he will make it right No, I put it together, he sold me the cub, port matched case and rebuilt my crank. I'm not positive that I got the seals from him to be honest, but its no big deal. I'm just wondering what brand to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie B Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 How many hours are on the crank? I've seen a band of wear from the seal on the crank in my 79' YZ400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAJUN BANSHEE Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 How many hours are on the crank? I've seen a band of wear from the seal on the crank in my 79' YZ400. I don't remember seeing any wear marks in that area, I usually check that area before I install any seal, but that was a few beers ago. I'll find out this weekend. Oh, and I should be able to pull the bottom case and remove the seal without pulling the jugs right. I read that could the other day but wanted to verify.
