I replaced the seal today "rope" and was wondering why a sealant should not be used. I'm just curious about the reasons. The package says not to, and I think I read on here a ways back the same. I sure wish the 216 would accept a neoprene seal. Has anybody just for grins tried putting one in a 216 and what were the results. I've heard everything about the tolerances and I'm just curious. Who knows, maybe there is a perfect 216 crank just as there are imperfect ones.
It's been a busy weekend. I converted to 12V in addition to tending to the oil spill and I've got the upper seal in. I just have to put the cap back on, but being inquiring I'd like to know first about the reasons behind not using RTV on the ends.
12V are very good!
Thanks, Spencer
