Topic: 22re rear main seal

[mmml4]

Hi all, new to this forum but have spent countless hours on night shift reading the post. While rebuilding my 1994 22re last year I notice that the rear main seal housing looked off center, so I got my calipers out and measured from the crank to the ID of the seal housing and found that the gap from the crank to the housing on the top was .5mm larger than from the crank to the bottom, and yes I did have the hollow locating dowels in place. Has anyone seen this or is it normal? Hope I am not going over old info, I tried to search the subject but did not find anything.

Thanks
John

sounds liek your over thinking it, if its not leaking leave it alone

I don't have a lot of experience building engines but it seemed odd. I may just be suffering from OCD, just gotta know. No leaks.
