I didn't but I have already installed the new RMS with an arbor and it seems to me it may be more likely to start a leak rather than prevent one.

Oh yes, the RMS looked fine with 112K on it however I suspect the seal on the flange was leaking based upon the oil seen.

Is it really necessary or prudent to replace the 3 casing bolts when replacing the RMS?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 4Original post

Capecod, is your engine a vintage that would benefit from removing the outer seal on the IMS sealed bearing? The theory being that more oil would be allowed in to a little more lubrication and oil changeover.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thats the first I heard of that theory. I have a 2002 and I installed an LN IMS retrofit.

POST 6Original post

Sorry, that theory is for large bearing engines where an IMSB retrofit requires a complete engine disassembly. The large bearing seemingly benefits from the increased exposure to oil after the seal is removed. If the bearing is old enough there's no grease left in it anyway.

POST 7Original post

Did you use thread sealant on the 3 bolts? I believe those holes go into the crankcase and thus need a sealant to prevent leaks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
