Pic of my real oil seal. Cleaned the hardware; pressed in
the seal per Bently Manual with grease. Wiping, cleaning;
seal pushes either in or out rather easily.
This leaves me concerned. I do not want any leaks after
installation or I'll have to pull the engine again, probably.
So, I was thinking of putting a little silicone around the
rear oil gasket. Is this all right? It is not in the
text of the Bently Manual to do so. Will this do more
harm than good?
If yes, will this silicone in the picture suffice?
If no to silicone, does heat make this seal expand and
seal?
Thanks
