Meg 225 Crank Oil Seal Advice

[Matt Cole]

Well, just pulled the 225 lump out to replace the leaking crank oil seal. What ive noticed is quite a groove all the way around the crankshaft face. Now i have no data on this engine. Do i drive the seal in a couple of mm further? Or is it feked?? Theseal has potential to go right in flush. It was protruding a good few mm when checking.

Update, decided to just install the new seal and pressed it in another couple of mm. I hope it works as its not a 5 minute job!:mad: Put in a nice 6 plate paddle while i was on. If all works im hoping to run some decent boost and get good power.:D
