our 100 is pouring oil out of rear main seal so I pulled the engine and I don't see anything out of the norm I was hoping someone might have exp with this and could help me out with some info Thanks Steve
If you saw oil coming out of rear main seal replace it . It doesn’t have to “look” bad to be bad. Check crank for wear ,you may need a speedy sleeve if wear is found.
Thank You
Stupid question...are you sure it is engine oil?
Yes I know that was a concern because the hyd pump is in the same locate but we did figure it to be engine oil . The problem I have is the oil was really pouring out so I was hoping to see something obvious. It really is a poor set up the way that the seal is in the bellhousing I thought maybe the oil pump press might be to high or the main bearing is so worn that the oil is just shooting out the seal Thank You
Is there an oil journal running back there? With a loose or missing plug?
That's what I was hoping for but the only other thing in that small area is the back of the camshaft. Thank You
Does the camshaft have a "frost plug"
Can u run engine out of machine? Should find leak forsure then lol...but if you have out i would change all seals on both ends plus change tranny seals if any
No you can see the back of the cam and bearing
Really ok...im out of my league...i just dont know that engine personally at all....every engine i ever saw had a frost plug or cast closed....good luck though i am out of solutions...
What engine do u have in it
No Rondig, you're on point! He can see the cam and bearing. the freeze plug must have popped out. It shouldn't be in the bellhousing though, I wouldn't think. Knock a new plug in and move along.
