Never put sealant on crank seals mate. It's all about cleanliness, positioning and fitting. Use a genuine seal if you can, I remember back in the day I couldnt get a R9 timing chain cover to seal on the crank, I had 3 or 4 goes before my local engine shop said to try an OE one and as soon as I put one in, it never leaked again (although shortly after that I rammed it into a lamp post lol)Also is there any reason I cannot use a bit of sealant on the inner and outer of the rear main seal ?
