Front crank seal leak 2JZ

[2JZR31]

Is this easy to change once the balancer is off? Got any tips?

[mrshin]

Have to remove the cover, the belt, then the pulley, then you can get at the seal. Reasonably straightforward.

[2JZR31]

Cool so the seal will come out piss easy once I have removed the other stuff? I have to fix my crank trigger disc anyway.

[mrshin]

Yeah, you can fish it out with a small screwdriver etc., and the new one should press in without too much trouble. Remember to put some oil on the new one, treat it gently, and push it right in.

Thanks mate. How much does the part cost?

[mrshin]

Can't remember, even though I bought it a few days ago! Bought it with a bunch of other stuff.. But it wasn't expensive, under $10 trade price from my local bearing place.

Pretty sure 'projectsleeper' had some good photo's from when he did his here..

[Mr DOHC]

put either some loctite 242 or 515 on the outside of it

[ProjectSleeper]

Yep, takes about 2 mins to replace it once you have pulled everything off

very easy to remove - small screwdriver as was mentioned, will do the trick, then gently tap the new one in...

This pic shows the water pump removed also, but the toothed gear still on the crank ( gently pry off with a small screwdriver...



Edit -
Genuine Toyota Part number is 90311-46001
List price is $28.75 + GST

a number for the $10 seal mrshin?

[cambelt]

Dont put a non gen seal in there , it will leak again very soon, nothing compares to the genuine seals .

Recurrent failure appears to be a common problem with boosted 2JZs. Reading your thread on PF, I get the vibe that's where you're going. Maybe read the various fixes posted on supraforums.com (not the Aus site).

Thanks guys. I posted the same question at the same time. I don't even think the leak is to bad. I am just going to fix it becuase I have to fix the trigger disc and it would be silly not to do the seal while I am there.

I will take a look at the US site

While you are at it, grab a couple of cam seals, and a new timing belt, then you will be sweet for another 100,000 k's. You already have access, so no point doing the same job twice.

cheers Chuck.

Done the belt already. Wish I done the othet stuff then too. I didn't know the cam seals had a tendancy to leak? Are they easy to replace too? How much do they cost?

[ProjectSleeper]

Cam seals are just as easy - but almost as much stuff to pull apart to get to them..

Cam Seal Part numbers (depending on the year of your engine) are
90311-40014 - 5/93 to 9/95
90311-40020 - 9/95 to 8/98

List price is $12.30 +GST each.

Cheap insurance to replace them....

I already did mine and will be doing the Cam Cover Seals and breather hoses too shortly..
I have those part numbers and prices too if you want them..

Standard procedure at my young blokes workshop. Doing the cam belt, all seals are changed. $50.00 in parts while it accessable, beats a call from a customer, saying you changed the cam belt and now the seal is leaking!

Cam seals are as easy as the crankshaft seal, just take your time.

cheers Chuck.
