Picked up the parts for the oil leak in the gear cover on of the front of the motor.The o ring on the gear cover is a improved style .Instead of just o ring it has a (I think)
some kind of nylon wear sleeve that goes over the crank shaft and is the proper diameter inside and out side. it goes on the crankshaft now about 1/2 way or should the nylon sleeve be on all the way first?
Then the o ring fits tight in both directions.Should I put the o ring in the gear cover first or on the nylon wear sleeve on all the way? then put the gasket and cover in place? or am I thinking wrong ? Do you understand what I am thinking? It is just a press fit nothing holding on but the fit.

You've got a seal with a wear ring...

Install it with the enclosed cup until it bottoms out - some require that you remove the lip, others do not. You'll need to read the directions or check with the supplier of the seal.

Cummins no instructions . it is just a sleeve .do you mean remove the rust on the crank.then put it on? I will check with Cummins in the morning.Thanks.Let you know in the what I hear.
