808DA6 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Just got my short block back from the machine shop and they didn't install the rear crank cap seals. You know the ones that are wedged into place on both sides of the cap? How do these go in? I have four pieces: (2)rubber c-channels and (2)steel strips that are beveled on one end. I'm pretty sure if these don't go in right it will leak and i'll be pissed. Thanks guys! Brian Quote Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 The seals just tap into place- rubber side toward the seam, metal shim away. Oil them first or they bind. Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 those are Fairlady Z wheels. 14" only I believe. 4-lug and found in Japan. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Doug Those seals I have seen the 2 pc kind ,rubber & metal type and I also have the Nissan ones which are one pc. I have to look but i think the 1pc can go in either way. Personally I forgot How they go in!!!!!!!!! The 2 pc ones I dont even use Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I suppose there are 2 kinds, but I've never seen any that didn't have a metal shim. You don't want the metal shim facing the seam- defeats the purpose of the seal. If it's all rubber then it doesn't matter so long as it doesn't go in sideways. Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 All - Thanks for all the info. I'll give it a shot. I need to know where you got those wheels!! :cool: Sorry dood! I don't have those. Straight JDM goodness. I think they're some crazy offset, wide SSR Star Sharks. Nice huh? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Nisaan part # 12289-W0400(side seal for crank bearing cap) goes in either way. order extras!!!!!!!!! Doug you seen it now!!!!!!!!! As Doug was saying you want the back of the "C" the flat part facing towards the outside of the block. The wedge will be in the inside next to the main bearing cap if that explaines it correctly like this(2pc) open part of the C faces towards the center of the block block -IC/metal wedge- cap bearing -metal weadge-block Quote Link to comment
