Hi all

A simple question but cannot find answer, which way round does the new type front crank/timing case seal go hall sensor one.

I see there is an arrow showing direction on one side which way does this go?
Does this rotate the same as engine rotation?
If so which way
I thought might be anticlockwise but before I fit using the advice on forum just wanted to check? Help       

thanks smoll

The letters/numbers should point away from the oil side.

Just fitted one:

Apparently it's thataway...

Excellent guys I will fit that tomorrow if the awful weather lets me in the shed     

thanks for helping

Hi all

tried fitting today and ended up cracking seal am I missing something as I would thought simple enough any tips would be greatly received, I will have to order another seal and try again it was a Bmw seal and appears to be the size stated so a bit confused. Help    

thanks smoll

Soak it in oil for a couple of hours. The one I've just fitted was supplied by my local BMW dealership. Like any seal, getting it square at the start is the key, then use something of the same diameter to press it in (I have a hoofing great impact socket that is just the right size).

Thanks for advice I did not soak seal so that probably didn't help will order new one and try again     will let you know how I get on.

thanks
