About 3 week ago I changed the crank seal, harmonic balancer(HB) and the oil pump o ring. Did the work all according to the Townsend directions , including the polishing of the oil pump mating surface.
After 3 weeks of driving I noticed couple of drops of oil on the garage floor. cleaned the whole HB and oil pump area and turned on the car. Crawled under it and noticed that it was coming out of the inside of the HB. Seeing that the oil pump mating surface is clean, it means that its leaking from the newly installed big white crank seal.
The only thing I didn't do according too the book was the tightening of the big bolt to 140 ft-lbs since my torque wrench goes to 90 only.
Here is the question: Is it leaking from the seal because I may have not tightened the bolt enough or is it leaking because the seal may not be seated deep enough inside the oil pump housing.
Thanks in advance for comments.
