1 pc. Rear Main Seal Question
 
very simple question. on a one peice RMS, which way does it go, does the flat side go towards the flywheel, or the rest of the engine?

86 5.0L 12-13-2008 03:41 PM

the same way the old one was in :p

lol, anyway I think the flat side goes to the flywheel, since that is how I screwed in some screws to get the old one out

I dont remember, and i just checked the old crank and the damn seal was off...

FuzzyDiceRule 12-13-2008 03:48 PM

you sure, id rather not **** this up

86 5.0L 12-13-2008 03:49 PM

check the chilton manual, thats what I used

it doesnt say, but it LOOKS like the flatside goes to the flywheel...

on a side note, should i just put assembly lube on it instead of oil?


nevermind, it says install with "spring side" towards engine, is that the side with the groove?

the flat side faces the flywheel, Its only goes in one way tho....
