LOGIE Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Im changing my rear crank seal soon do I need to use any specific sealant ie do I need to use Toyota FIPG or will THIS suffice? Basic stuff but thought id better ask. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Surely you just make sure everything is nice and clean and replace the seal, i wouldn't be using any sealer. I'd give Lee at SRD a call or CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 sorry I meant the seal retainer? I thought it had to be sealed with one of the above? Im hoping Lee or Chris will read this mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Doesn't mention anything in the WSM, the seal obviously does the sealing page EM 84 in the Engine mechanical pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Cheers Dunk off to look in WSM Sorry it wont let me upload the pdf here for some reason. All you need to do is apply a little MP grease to the seal lip from what i can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what MP grease is other than as you say multi purpose, its purely for fitting purposes so you don't damage the seal when you fit it onto the crank.

bignum Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think you`re talking about the seal housing where it meets the sump, you will need some rtv silicone sealant, its normally black and is oil/fuel resistant, loctite do some decent stuff for this. Edit, the stuff you linked to should do it fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 The circled part is what I was referring to, but as pointed out there is no mention of sealant in the TSRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yes you have to use sealant on the seal housing. Not the actual seal itself but the part that bolts to the block. Same sealant as used for the sump ect.. You can use the Toyota stuff or a good RTV sealant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
