Sealing Crank Collar

[J4M1E333]

Hi all, recently replaced clutch side crank seal on my stock blaster and it's still smoking like a steam train, i assume its the crank collar? or could it be something else? :-/ I've added the RTV to the chamfer of the collar and just waiting for time to fit it? is this likely to work? i was wondering if putting a smear of RTV on the 'race' of the collar and butting it up to the crank would do it any good? Thanks for your help and sorry so many questions I:I

yeah that's the vid i used, so that will definately work will it?

it will unless you have a leak somewhere else.

where else would there be another leak for it to smoke like hell?

If it was smoking real bad before you replaced the seal, there will still be a lot of oil in the exhaust, it will smoke until that oil gets burnt off.

You can find out if the crancase is leak free by doing a leak down test.

You should be doing a leak test before you attempt to start the motor.
