Crankshaft Seal Sealant

[Multimotor]

Thanks for the tip. No luck this time...maybe the subject hasn't been discussed before.

I’ve used pliobond it’s a contact cement like 1300L or yellow glue probably get a can from spruce
The permatex is the aviation form-a-gasket or it use to be #2

Thanks, Kim. The Aviation #2 sounds pretty official, and even Wally World carries it.

The Continental M-0 repair manual has all the info on procedure and sealants to use, on the road and from memory…

Clean bore well with MEK, there is a spray primer that is applied, then the purple case half sealant goes on the bore, then the permatex brown liquid on the seal and install.

When I can I will get the actual numbers of the items.

Thanks, Dan.

One sticking point is that the person who installed the seal retainer plates, 90 degrees off from what the parts diagram shows, did so when the sealant was still wet. I don't think they're going to come off without being bent. Good thing new plates are so cheap. Less than $20 each! :0(

I am still traveling on the road, the plan is to be back home this eve at our airport, I can get the info tonight and will supply it.
