Rear Engine Main Seal
 
How far in should the main seal be installed? Flush or recessed or proud? 1988 911 Carrera 3.2 stock

You want it in far enough so your on smooth crank surface

Sorry, but I misspoke; it is the front main seal, by the transmission, not the pulley end.

That’s what my explanation was for....
The pulley seal generally sits proud as installed.
I just had one with the main shaft seal on the G50 was leaking.

Bruce,
by "crank surface" do you mean flush with the surface surrounding the seal?

I mean you have to be in far enough to be on clean crank metal so not to eat into the seal with dirty metal on the end of the crank.
