Steptoe Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Has anyone ever thought an old ( or new - your option) piston would work as a rear main seal whacker-innerer tool? 92 mm std bore piston with full skirt is just a mm or two smaller than OD of a 76*93*10 RMOS ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 ABS parts from the plumbing isle. Piston would not work without machining. The crank sticks out past the seal. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I did just what GeneralDisorder did; I saw a YouTube video that suggested that same method. I went to the hardware plumbing isle with my new seal to match its size and it worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Actually was thinking of the bottom of a piston which is why I used the word 'skirt' - but not much of a skirt on our pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
