I am putting a modern seal on the front of my crankshaft,I notice that there is a lot of space in front of it.Should it be filled with silicone before
the pan is installed? Apology,the hogshead that I thought had no low band adj.was sitting high on a shelf with a shadow on it and I could not see the
hole for the adj.Thanks,Fritz
Personally I have tried the modern seals but don't care for them. You do have to apply the silicone before installing the pan, somewhat messy. Also if for any reason you have to remove it, its a pain. I use the model a seals and they work fine. As someone in an earlier thread pointed out, always check the dam in the front of the pan, most I have checked needed re soldering. KB
