You guys are brilliant life savers yet again...metal collar came out with
couple hammer whacks...THANK YOU
Please correct me if the
Following assumptions I make are incorrect:
1. New seal goes in without the metal collar...no need for metal collar any
longer
2. New seal goes in with the spring side facing the engine (facing the inside
of the cover), and the ?collar side? up against the lip of the cover opening
facing toward radiator of the cover.
Thanks
Erkan
P.S. I forgot to mention tr3b engine
