i just i have put over 5 front main seals in this truck within the year.
what is causing the seal to go?
its a 3.slow 5speed

 

groove in the balancer?

 

yep .. time for a "speedy sleeve"



.

 

x2

 

LOL Slacker , for the life of me i could not remember the name of the sleeve, i was like quick sleeve , happy sleeve, mmmm dang.

 

So I gotta ask.. Can you do it in under 30mins?

 

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

 

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

 

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 .

 

all oem they are cheaper then the aftermarket. any one has the pic of the sleave u guys are talkin about

 

bummp

not the right one, but you get the idea.

 

thanks toyota 1

 

Thanks also 1, i can use info too.

 

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.
