740 turbo '92-oil seals issues

Discussion in 'Volvo 740' started by arterialturns, Jun 24, 2007.

  1. Changed front cam, crankshaft and intermediate oil seals as well as
    timing cover gasket (of which there was no residue from the old one!).
    Fired it up, it started on 2nd try and ran good (except for the oil
    leaking from the bottom of the new timing belt cover!). Took it all
    apart, assuming that gasket failed (as I realized I had not allowed
    much time for the gasket sealant to dry properly), to find that the
    plate between the crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft sprocket had
    slipped (during reassembly perhaps?). This caused the tab on the
    sprocket to indent and distort said plate, as well as somewhat
    distorting the tab itself. Also, some oil had collected under where
    crankshaft & intermediate seals are. Question #1: Did I do something
    wrong when I installed the two lower seals (do they need to be pushed
    in further?). Question #2: Is there any way I should even consider
    trying to use the abovementioned parts, or do I have to get new pulley/
    plate/etc. (and-if so-what did I do to mess them up?)? Thanks for your
    time.
