Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yep.
Easy to replace, but the new seal has to go in what looks like "backwards", with the metal side facing out. Guess how I know this now... I built an engine with the crank seal the wrong way around. DOH! It lasted about 10,000 miles somehow.
Anyway, after removing all the ignition stuff, I levered the old seal out with a big screwdriver, then pulled the new one in with a big socket and a long 8mm bolt and nut threaded into the crankshaft. Pretty standard seal replacement if you've done much wrenching on cars. Easier to get to than on most cars, really.
I believe I coated the outside of the new seal with a bit of case sealer just in case. And, of course, I made sure the seal bore was nice and clean and dry.
The seal is marked with a tiny little arrow showing the direction of rotation. Make sure you respect the arrow...
No rush -- these engines don't use any oil pressure, so it's not going to turn into a gusher suddenly.
