Hello All,
I am working on a home project involving a 2 stroke engine. When replacing a crank seal, the seal bore was beat up and since I have tig welded a few 'beads' to the spots that were chewed up. I know have to rebore the engine case and want to make sure I am going to bore at the right size. I plan on using a cylinder bore snap gauge on the untouched portions of the bore for my inteded inside diameter, but I want to touch base with you guys on interference fits and sizes.
Inside the bore goes a rubber seal with a 37 mm outside diameter. I dont have a new seal to measure to be more accurate, but this is the information i am getting about the seals from a website. What type a interference should I be looking for here? .001? .005? Thanks for the help.
