When I first got my onan running. it seemed ok. then I tried to use it to run the roof air on a trip, and it turned into a leaker.

the little bit harder part was getting the old flywheel seal off.

I replaced at that time, the oil filter adaptor gaskets, and the flywheel seal.

it has been not leaking since that repair at this time.




Jon - I'm in a similar position. I have the flywheel removed as well as the oil filter adapter and along with the adapter (I assume) the LOP sensor.

Did you make your adapter gaskets? One (the front one nearest the filter) seems OK if not a bit puffy. The other one has a tear in it that could have happened when I took the thing apart. Both look like fairly simple gaskets. Were you able to source them anywhere.

Also, talk about the flywheel seal. That may be above my pay grade. How is the seal removed - replaced?

Thanks for any help you can give me. I want to reassemble this thing before I forget what goes where.
