Pigman

Only if he's the worlds fastest "Flat Rater" LOL

4runnerguy

ya i need to check but there never was any rips or anythin on the seals.

4runnerguy

45 min to an hour what takes longer is the antifreeze

I have had a sleeve come loose before. It caused me to be towed in 100 miles from the trail

? Are some aftermarket oil seals, or OEM, offset such as to contact a diff part of the shaft surface. Mine has dripped here n there forever, no biggy .

4runnerguy

You've probably figured this out by now but the 3.0 front crank seal actually rides on the crankshaft itself and not the balancer. You have to pull the timing belt to get to the seal so it's a little bigger job than 45 minutes, for me at least.
