Front Crank Seal

[urbanphilosophy]

I just bought a 91 vr4 galant. It has a front crank seal leak. I'm going to replace this seal and at 104k I'm sure some other things might need replaced too. Wondering if anyone could suggest the parts to replace while I have this area torn apart. I also use to own a 96 sonata with a 2.0 DOHC non turbo. So I am a bit familliar with the top end of this motor. Any help you guys could offer would certianly be appreciated.

Also I'm new to this forum and work as a technician for an infiniti dealership. I have a good amount of experience with vq35 , and sr20 if anyone has questions diagnostic problems just message me.

Wow man I really appreciate it. The faq is abundantly helpful. If I have a bit of extra money I should probably replace the oil pump while I'm in there just for peace of mind. Parts for mitsubishi's are much cheaper than infiniti's or nissans. LoL.

If your willing to replace the oil pump, I'd recommended you do the balance shaft elimination. The balance shafts bearings are prone to failure, usually resulting in the b-belt breaking, and jumping your t-belt, and if that doesn't happen, the bearing debris will eventually take your motor,
