crank seal - NEW Question!!!

[millertyme]

Ed,
I actually don’t plan on replacing it if I don’t have to.  Just wanted
all the parts because I don’t know what I will find when I get it apart.
I will be changing the cam seal though, since I still have vacuum
issues.
thanks
Brian

Brian,

I think what you have is the cam seal ??

>From what I remember the front crank seal does have a
hard case and definetely the round springy thingy.

But if its not leaking, why change it ??
