toyota 4wd diesal crankshaft seal
toyota 4wd diesal crankshaft seal
(OP)
I have a 1985 toyota 4wd diesal. the front crankshaft oil seal keeps failing. the alloy oil pump housing (which houses the seal) has a scratch that allows oil to pass between the seal and the seal housing. does anybody know of a substance maybe a resin or glue that I could seal the seal so that it could hold oil pressure? the alloy housing appears to have tiny cracks in the front (on the surface)
the engine is a 2.4D "2L" out of a Ln65 Hi -Lux

I posted a reply a couple of days ago to someone else and recommended Belzona Molecular Metal, http://www.belzona-western-ltd.com/ I don't know if it can be bought through regular channels but I've heard good things about it and have used it to repair drill holes in a drill press table. It gets extremely hard, can be drilled tapped files etc.
Try your local Loctite supplier, they have all kinds of cures.
I would imagine getting rid of the oil residue would be the main concern, use a fast evaporating type.
