Unlike the elephant seal or the close neighbor of it, the leopard seal, the lip seal is not commonly known, nor is it found locally. Lip seals are found in the depths of the ocean around northern Peru. They are born from the ashes of their dying parents and develop into maturity at 3 years. Normally their skin is a dull gray, but when aroused these seals will turn vibrantly scarlet, resembling that of a pair of human lips. Because of their secluded habitat and their strange sexual habits, scientists are still unsure of the specifics of their species.

We wish you well on your lip seal quest.

Should the sleeve where the front crank seal fits be removed before replacing it with an aftermarket crank seal on a ford mustang v6 engine?

Well there should not be a sleve in the crank snout where the seal lip rides. If there is one, then the crank has been reconnditioned/replaced, or there was damage to the snout, previously. I will recommend leaving the sleave, or replacing it with a new one if it has obtained rotational damage from the seal lip. This happens usually due to oil starvation at the lip ridding area or from a hardenned seal. The sleves may be purchased at your local autoparts and only serve to go over the damaged grove that the seal duged in. If the seal was not leaking and one is replacing the seal as maintenance or timing chain r&r. then leave the sleave in place other that that remove damaged sleve and replace with new one..Hope this helps.. Will..:)

Bottom seal- drain oil, remove spark plug boot, remove blade and clean shaft, place the tip of a small screwdriver at the o.d. of the seal and use a hammer to tap the screwdriver into the seal and pry out. to install- lube the inner lip of the seal, set it level into the opening and gently tap the outer edge of the seal with a brass punch and hammer or use a soft face hammer until the seal is in all the way. Make sure not to drive the seal in unevenly you will damage the seal. To do the top seal you will do the same to get the seal out and in but you will have to remove the engine flywheel.


What is the difference between suck and suckle?

The suckle is the earlier pattern for babies. There is a back and forth movement of the tongue, and the tongue stays within the baby's mouth. There is not a very strong lip seal. Around 3-6 months the suck should develop. There will be a stronger lip seal and the tongue will have an up and down movement. Both of these are different from nonnutritive sucking, as they might to do a finger or a toy, etc.
