Hello. Just changed my timing belt on my discovery 300tdi with no issues thanks to posts found on this forum so a big thanks for that.
However I decided to change the crank dust seal while It was apart, BIG mistake. It is the later bearing type so I fitted it so as the bearing would still spin. I rebuilt the engine and started it up but after a few seconds I had a burning rubber smell. The timing cover was really hot around the crank. So apart it comes and on inspection the dust seal has obviously got very hot. Comparing the new seal to the one removed it would appear the old seal is about 1mm narrower than the replacement or maybe I just stuffed the job up.
Has anyone changed this seal or any advice on where I have gone wrong?
Thank you
