Tech Talk / Crank seals

« on: February 02, 2015, 11:13:38 am »

After forgetting which way my crankseal on the clutch side goes in, I'm confused.
Does it really matter which way it's installed? One side of the seal is closed with a flat face the other is open with the wire spring retainer. It's a double lip seal on a 89 RM250. Going by the drawing/diagram in the Suzuki manual it looks to have the open side facing the transmission. Looking at cases for sale on eBay some have the flat side facing out to the clutch, but the majority with the open side out. Flywheel side allways has the spring on the inside. Is it only when the seals are worn that they can suck air and oil in?

What's people's preference? What sort of lifespan do you get out of a nikasil bore? Or is it better/cheaper to just put a new sleeve in and re bore when required?
