Position of the crankshaft seal

[Figoulu]

Hi gents

I was working under my car and noticed that the crankshaft seal isn’t sitting flush with the crankcase. There’s no sign of an oil leak, and I can see some sealant around it. What’s your opinion on this? (Please, only from those who really know 😁)

Nobody to help me ? 😅

In case you have some time to spare if you could just take a look at yours and possibly post it here, it would ba great 👍

Hi,
the sealing ring must sit flat on the engine block.  Yours has moved too far outwards . Perhaps the inner Borgmann ring has shifted outwards too.
Attached are two pictures from the German Pagoda Forum.

thanks  !

I noticed in the first picture that the seal doesn't appear to be 100% flush, but the angle of the photo might be a bit misleading…

If that’s really the case, I suppose it could be easily repositioned? I don’t think the seal has moved since it was installed.

I've asked the mechanic who did the work and I'm waiting for his response, but I wanted to get your advices in the meantime.
Anybody else to complete ?

In my first picture, too much additional sealant was probably used.
The "collar"/edge should fit tightly, if there is one (different parts).

I just replaced mine last month.

And how was the seal against the crankcase ? Flush or not ?
