does anyone else have problems keeping the rear main seal from leaking? im going to be putting my 3rd one in, in less then 6000 miles. i just need to find out what is causing this thing to leak.

 

Is there a groove worn in the crank from the seal?
You can try to tap the seal in a little more so the seal rides on a flat part of the crank.

 

Are you using a toyota seal?

 

i dont know. the mechanic who installed my engine said the first one looked good and after it leaked he put this one in and said there were no problems with the crank. i also doubt he used a toyota seal.

i remember now i bought a napa rear main set and he used that the 2nd time.
