I think I broke the oil seal. Is it hard to fix and does anybody know if it requires the removal of the oil front cover? Do you guys think my engine was damaged running on 1 1/2 quart of oil for 10 minutes?

All you have to do is go to the dealership and buy a new front seal,pop your pulley off and swap out the seals. Its not hard at all..about as hard as swaping out the pullies. Just remember not to scratch up the surface while taking the old seal out.

Won't he need a drift or whatever the special tool is to set the new seal in place? The have a diagram in the FSM with dimensions of the tool. I can probably dig it up if it would help.

True. When I replaced mine on my DET I used a flat block of wood. It all works out..

I'm going to do this in school so they got all the tools. I hope it's just the oil seal that I damaged. Thanks guys.

that is what it probably is. real easy to fix. just pull off the pulley and slap the new one in. I think the nissan part # is a 13210-50j10? something like that

Did you use screws to remove your pulley?! Cuz if you used the 2 screw method(hehe) then you may have actually puntured a hole in your block. This is not good, itll need to be welded shut. You better hope its just the seal, if it is, then do what these guys have suggested so far

No I used a pulley puller. But I'm afraid I might have punctured the key in.

BTW, do you guys think I've done any damage running with only 1 1/2 quart of gas for 2 to 3 miles?

 

[brian]

gas or oil? either way you are probably gonna make it...
