From the Tech section....I looked far and wide and cannot figure out where the copper washers belong on the bottom end.
Will it work? Maybe... hell, probably. Is it installed correctly? Nope.Looking around a bit today at the motor and I'm realizing that my clutch pushrod seal is in a little cockeyed. The bottom is pushed in while the top sticks out a bit. Is this going to be an issue/cause uneven wear on the seal?
Grow up? Too late.Will it work? Maybe... hell, probably. Is it installed correctly? Nope.
Look at it this way... the half arsed hack sez... "that's good enough."
The competent mechanic fixes it until it's "correct."
Which one do you want to grow up to be?
The clutch seal usually goes cockeyed if you try to drive it in to far. If you replace the seal buy two just in case. They can be fitted with the engine assembled. However, I think you had an issue with a damaged seal housing if I recall correctly. If you didn't repair it you will need to remove any sharp or raised bits of casing so you don't damage the seal pushing it back in. You may even have to apply a little sealant to make the seal fit well in the damaged area.
Yes.do I need to make sure the line on the seal is lined up with the groove?
OK, first that rubbing nut. From what I can see on a partially torn down motor I have sitting around, there is no washer used under that nut, and if there is one on there, it's very, very small and thin.
