Default Re: Oil leak

At our shop we keep rope seals immersed in oil. Don't trim the length of the seal before installation. When tightened down, it is forced into the contact for necessary sealing action. Unless the seal surface on the crank is damaged, you should have good results. When using a repair sleeve, sealer must be applied to the inside of the sleeve before it is moved into place
