t 5 overhaul

Teflon tape wrapped around the bolts prior to install. Usually 3-4 wraps per bolt should do the trick.

I wouldn't be using thread tape on flywheel bolts.

First up, are the bolt holes blind?

If they are, they don't need a sealer as such, but I would still apply a loctite to the threads and torque them to spec.

I'd nearly bet your crank rear flange is out round, the seal cannot keep the oil in the engine if this is the case.

Mount a dial indicator on the seal surface and turn the engine by hand.

Thxs for suggestions. The 6 holes on crank go thru the flange on the crank.

That is interesting about the dial indicator. Will try and locate one to confirm clearances. What would be the runout for this measurement? Also, is the teflon seal the best or? There was another thread recently about this or maybe i came across it in my search.
