You may have noticed, the timing assembly was bathing in oil. the problem was a front crank oil seal ready to jump out of its seat. once the belts are soaked in oil, replace them asap.


the outer diameter of the crankshaft is about 43.95mm...that would be the internal diameter of the oil seal. hope the oil seal will take care of the 0.05 difference. btw, the oil seal size for this one is 44 x 60 x 7 mm.



To remove the seal, pry it out with a screwdriver (with a cloth to prevent marring the shaft or the housing).


Clean first the front assembly
