EJ20 front main oil seal

[Guest]

I've got an oil leak comming from the front of my ej20 and i suspect its the front main oil seal. I've never done one of these on a wrx b4, can it be done just be taking off the crank pully and cam belt cover like most other engines?

Cheers

cambelt will need to come off so its not a small job unless you know what your doing.

you should do your cam seals while your in there too

also cambelt/tensioners/idlers oil pump seals and maybe a waterpump

Always good when your mrs is legal.

There is an O'ring behind the oil pump - replace that also

And while the pump is off check the screws holding the rear pump cover on

they come loose and can cause the front seal to be pushed out
