dodge da six crank seals

does the dodge da six have crank seals ?

Assume you are talking about the front and rear seals from the oil pan? I think they tend to 'wick' or throw oil from the rear; into the clutch. Olsen and other vendors sell rear oil seals. Others swear by caulk type sealers: rtv etc. It is a lot of work to drop the oil pan, only to find it still leaks.

I know it has been a few weeks since you post question about crank seal

I just disassemble fromt cover to check gears and replace gasket before reinstalling in 30 DA

sedan

when you look at breakdown , item 85 is crank bolt,

item 86 is oil slinger,

they don't indicate a seal , which I find odd,

i had order a gasket kit from Meyers and seal was not in kit?.

what I found in my running engine , which was a roap seal between oil slinger and cover,

crank forms around this,

i had a couple of kits from my 35 , and used seal out of this kit,

don't know if this help and answers your question

i haven't diassemble rear

The Standard Six and Victory engines do not have oil seals , the have a oil slinger at each end of the crank, the rear into a housing that drains to the sump and the front a cup shaped that throws to a recess in the front cover. Just rebuilt a six of late . Bob

The engine ,I just put in 30 DA didn't have a seal , just slinger ring like illustrated in parts book

No rope seal,like My original engine had installed and it is Leaking oil,

I Pulled the cover back off and went to the bearing & seal store, we match a timken seal 471424 to fit.

. It is similar to what is installed in the engine in my 35 KC,

2 inch ID 2.625 OD

We will see it it fixes problem

It's been a while since working on my '29 DA, but I seem to remember double walled ends of the oil pan where a felt pad was...also, at the end of the oil pan where you'd mount it to the transmission housing there was a U-shaped piece of metal w/ a cork gasket you'd mount with same bolts as those of oil pan. Hope that makes sense.

Oh, sorry, you wondered about crank seals...I just skimmed this and saw a post on oil pan seals.

The other post was 1930 DA engine has a different type of pan and will accept seal

When I took 29 engine cover off it wasn't leaking , It has the arrangement like in parts illustration

Slinger and no seal

My leak was from front cover lower gasket

Replaced it
