CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEALS
The service seal is a 2 piece, viton seal. The upper
seal half can be installed with crankshaft removed
from engine or with crankshaft installed. When a
new upper seal is installed, install a new lower seal.
The lower seal half can only be installed with the
rear main bearing cap removed.
UPPER SEAL —CRANKSHAFT REMOVED
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the crankshaft. Discard the old upper
seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the cylinder block rear cap mating sur-
face. Make sure the seal groove is free of debris.
(2) Lightly oil the new upper seal lips with engine
oil.
(3) Install the new upper rear bearing oil seal with
the white paint facing towards the rear of the engine.
(4) Position the crankshaft into the cylinder block.
(5) Lightly oil the new lower seal lips with engine

(6) Install the new lower rear bearing oil seal into
the bearing cap with the white paint facing towards
the rear of the engine.
(7) Apply 5 mm (0.20 in) drop of Loctite 518, or
equivalent, on each side of the rear main bearing cap
(Fig. 45). DO NOT over apply sealant or allow the
sealant to contact the rubber seal. Assemble bearing
cap to cylinder block immediately after sealant appli-
cation.
(8) To align the bearing cap, use cap slot, align-
ment dowel and cap bolts. DO NOT remove excess
material after assembly. DO NOT strike rear cap
more than 2 times for proper engagement.
(9) Clean and oil all cap bolts. Install all main
bearing caps. Install all cap bolts and alternately
tighten to 115 N·m (85 ft. lbs.) torque.
(10) Install oil pump.
(11) Apply Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Seal-
ant, or equivalent, at bearing cap to block joint to
provide cap to block and oil pan sealing (Fig. 46).

oil. To allow ease of installation of the seal, loosen at
least the 2 main bearing caps forward of the rear
bearing cap.

face of the seal. To assure proper installation, use the
installation tool provided with the kit. Install the
