Hello everyone,
I posted a long time ago about a Tecumseh VLV-126 with an oil leak that I thought was coming from the top end of the crankshaft. I finally had the time to work on this engine after many years and managed to get the flywheel off.
The oil leak is indeed coming from the top end oil seal. I managed to get the old oil seal out but I have a question about how to install the new oil seal.
When installed, should the new seal sit flush with the top of the engine, or should I press it in all the way so that it is recessed?
The engine model is a Tecumseh VLV126 502045F.
Thanks in advance for any help!
