18.6 Drive the new seal into the retainer with a block of wood or
a section of pipe, if you have one large enough - make sure you
don’t cock the seal in the retainer bore
6 Drive the new seal into the retainer with a block of wood (see illustra-
tion) or a section of pipe slightly smaller in diameter than the outside diam-
eter of the seal.
7 Lubricate the crankshaft seal journal and the lip of the new seal with
clean engine oil. Position a new gasket on the engine block.
8 Slowly and carefully push the seal onto the crankshaft. The seal lip is
stiff, so work it onto the crankshaft with a smooth object such as the end of
an extension as you push the retainer against the block.
9 Install and tighten the retainer bolts to the torque listed in this Chap-
ter’s Specifications. The bottomsealing flange of the retainer must not ex-
tend below the bottom sealing flange (oil pan rail) of the block.
IO The remaining steps are the reverse of removal.
11 Run the engine and check for oil leaks.
19 Engine mounts-check, replacement and adjustment
I Engine mounts seldom require attention, but broken or deteriorated
mounts should be replaced immediately or the added strain placed on the
driveline components may cause damage or wear.
Check
Refer to illustrations 19.4a and 19.4b
2 During the check, the engine must be raised stightty to remove the
weight from the mounts.
3 Raise the vehicle and support it securelyon jackstands, then position
a jack under the engine oil pan. Place a large block of wood between the
jack head and the oil pan, then carefully raise the engine just enough to
take the weight off the mounts. Warning: DO
NOTplace anypartofyour
body under the engine when it’s supported only by a jack!
4 Check the mount insulators (see illustrations)
to see
if the
rubber is
cracked, hardened or separated from the metal plates. Sometimes the
rubber will split right down the center.
