Oil Pump Seal
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2019 8:19 am
Logic would have it that the open side of the oil pump seal 26227-58 would face towards the scavenger gear where the oil is but a reputable engine builder told me the open end faces up towards the engine when the pump is mounted putting it against the pump body. Can some please clarify this for me. I’ve always been told the open end of any seal faces the oil or grease it’s containing.
