Reply To: Replacing KE4 crank seals

[johng]

Hi Louis, Here is a solution for the Early K Series up to MK-7 motors (6 -7 1/2 HP) concerning the Lower Crank Seal. I have used these Seals many times. The originals are rare. Find a local Auto Trans Repair Shop in your area that will take the time with you. You need the Shift Shaft Seal from a “Ford C-6 Automatic Transmission.” 1966′ -1976′ It is the correct fit. It is a chore to remove the crank cover metal seal cap, be careful with that. Just pull out the original seal and drive in the Ford C-6 seal. (Lip of seal pointed Down). I think same seal on the Early K series Single Cylinder motors.
