99ImprezaOSport Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm doing a head job & clutch / Flywheel on a 1999 Imreza Outback Sport 2.2L I was installing the rear main seal and ended up having the seal sitting in 1/16 or less from flush? I noticed there is plenty of room behind the seal for oil passage... Any possible problems with it sitting in a little? BTW I'm documenting everything, when I'm done I'll post a link to all the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 no problems, just make sure it went in smoothly, went in straight and is sitting straight now. Subaru rear main seals are notorious for leaking after replacement. They are by far the least likely to leak but hardest to set properly as well. If there's any doubt I'd do it again for those reasons. I'd be sure to use a SUbaru OEM seal for this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
