Crank seal?

[Rupe]

I'm struggling to get a crank seal at the moment, but the local bearing company does supply them. The one they had was ok for heat (viton or something) and the diameters were spot on. The only problem is that it's 1mm thicker.

Would it be ok to use?

depends if it going to clear the bearing in the case, if its not going to foul on anything i wouldnt have thought there would be a problem.

I used to make seals for a living at a small place in Aussie

i think the one your taling about is seal imports, most seal companys get the stuff from here.

Got one today and it turned out to be 1mm thinner, but the same diameters (i hope).

Should be fine I reckon.

Thanks guys.

is it inner or outer on a gas gas? if its outer they aer easy to swap without having to split teh crank. How much is a factory one?

Outer, but I had to split the crank anyway to replace the needle bearing third gear runs on. Paid just over $30 for the seal, and was around the same price from Dirt Action Services but they didn't have any in stock. Just waiting for the piston kit, if it comes this week I can get out this weekend hopefully. You keen yet?

ALways keen, but sleep is more of my priority at the moment....
