italjetlover Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi all, been having some trouble with my 199a 350 1978. I've bought a new set of oil seals, but I'm sure which way to fit them in. I've bought the four single types from In Motion. Would someone be so good as to clear up this for me? Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 They go in the housing back to back - ie: the 'open' side of the seals face outwards and the solid face of the seals sit against each other on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Don't forget the large O ring that fits in the housing before you refit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italjetlover Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks Woody. I'm still not 100% sure. The seal has a lip one side, and an open side where you can see the metal spiral. Do you mean spiral-lip-lip-spiral? If that makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondy Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 hi as woody said they go back to back the open ends should be facing out on both sides. the sides with the size of the seal is the side that gose back to back with the other.
