You won't necessarily blow any seal. You will however destroy the engine if you overfill it enough as to allow the crankshaft to make contact with the oil. This will create a froth of oil mixed with air. And as you probably can guess air is a very poor lubricant. This mixture will cause engine wear and overheating.
how do i replace a front crankshaft seal on a 99 mitsubishi mirage
A bad seal, worn bearings, or maybe even a bent crankshaft.
Yes
There is one on each end of the crankshaft. The front main seal is at the pulley and, while the rear main is at the transmission end.
Need to know what seal you are talking about. Front crankshaft seal, wheel seal, etc?
the front or rear seal on the timing chain side
On my "99" it is 17 MM. I've never changed a seal.
Yes and No. Blow by is caused by an inproper seal between the compresion ring's and cylinder's. And yes a broken choke pin can result in flooding the cylinder's with fuel which will result in scoring of the cylinder's and a poor seal. Did this help?
how do you change crank seal on a 96 geo prizim
Chevy in 1977 changed the rear main oil seal to a one piece seal. the older crankshaft wont work.
You need to remove the belt pulley, then timing belt, its pulley sitting on the crankshaft. After that you will gain access to the seal. The seal has to carefully pried out. Make sure that you do not scratch the crankshaft surface as well as the seal seat in the engine body. Put a little bit of clean oil on the seal before installing it, it will make your life significantly easier. Make sure that you do not damage new seal when you are installing it.
