lastlegwarrior Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I was just wondering if i was going to need to order new seals along with the new crank. i just rebuilt the top end and put in new seals when i noticed the crank seemed to be making little noise, so i figured might as well go ahead and replace the thing considering i just put a fresh top end on, wouldn't want my bottom end going out and taking out the topend also. I've only rode the thing like twice since i last had the cases split, and replaced the seals. It would be great if i didn't have to replace the seals, because they probably only have maybe 2hrs. on them. So the big question is....can i keep'em, or do i gotta pitch'em? Thanks for the help.

ledofthezep Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 As long as you didn't bugger them up when splitting the cases again you should be alright. But...if you're really not sure it's best to be safe than sorry. Just MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die_infidel Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 You could reuse them, but since your that far why not replace them and have a fresh start and not have to wonder how long the used ones will last. They don't cost that much, but if they do wear out it could cost you even more. like mentioned, better safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I would not re-use them. Think if you get the engine all back together, and then after 5 hours of riding, one of the seals let go, and you eithr have an airleak, or start sucking tranny oil in the right side. Now, you have to remove the engine, and do it ALL over again. Do you really wanna chance it for te minimal cost new crank seals? I know I wouldn't wana in my engine...
