I am in the process of putting together a complete video for my M52 engine rebuild. It's a big one so what I have decided to do is take small clips out of it in advance for important parts of the rebuild to make it more digestible. The entire video will go live for sure, but I am also looking to answer some of the smaller but important parts in greater detail.

In this video I show you how to properly install front and rear crankshaft seals on an M52 engine. This will also apply to M50, M50TU, M52, M52TU, M54/M56, S50, S52, and S54 engines. I used a series of special tools to make this job super easy which I have linked below for your information.

The rear main seal can be purchased as a kit which includes a new cover flange with the seal pre-installed as well as a new gasket and hardware so that is an option as well, but just more expensive. Links below for more information:
