Anyone else blown a seal?

Postby Airthies » Wed Jan 18, 2017 12:12 am

here chaps,
anyone had experience with the TPUK front crankshaft seals?

Are they worth it?
or
better to go for OEM for those?

I've used the tpuk ones with no problems but it doesn't take much to fook them up even Ford ones, excess back pressure from blow by at the injector compression seals not sealing/slackening off is common cause for crank seal leaking

Cheers guys, yea injector seals are on the cards too, will be doing leak offs as well but just making a shopping list to start with.
