Oil Seal on 86 SEi Pulse Generator
imported post
After getting the water pump, pulse generator, timing belt, fuel pump and syncing the TB, I now have a oil leak behind the PG at the seal. Reading some old posts the seal is "very easily damaged" I do remember when I replaced the PG the PG housing pulled away from the shaft (MY FAULT!!) and I pushed it back in. What else would you do??
All was good last week when I got things lined out but after a few hundred miles I came home and had oil all on my pant leg and shoe and down the side of the bike. Dripping oil at 70mph!
But after cleaning all around the PG housing and engine cover I see it leaking at the bottom or side where the seal is.
The oil leaks when it's on the center stand but very little if any on the kickstand
QUESTION #1 IS...is there a seal that could be locally found without ordering one and taking all week from Honda. Honda partsfinder show the cost $5.99 so that's not a issue just if there is a known replacement that can be bought and save me days of waiting.
QUESTION #2 I'm going out on a limb and guess if I leave the bike on the center stand and replace the seal I'll have some oil draining issue but can I put it on the kickstand and get by without draining the oil
Thanks for all the help

Got the PG case off and I was kinda surprised there was not as much oil in there as I thought there might be but I'm guessing under running temps and conditions there's more then. The back side of the seal had some small peices hanging and what appears to be a REAL THIN ring of the seal was worn off. It looked like a flat o ring but it was so thin it had to be just worn off. The seal was a bugger to get out but I got it out. Local Honda store is closed to today but AutoZone has the 91216-PA0-003 part in thier warehouse and I'll have it this afternoon
So we'll try it later

Autozone did not get the seal in until 830 tonight. It was suppose to be on their 4:30pm truck but oh well, headed there 1st thing in the morning
I'll have to find a socket to fit or try the PVC trick. I told them to send me two of the seals just in case!

Got the seal in OK, and took it out for about 60 mile road test ride and so far it's not leaking. Like I told someone else I'm not calling it fix until I get a few hundred miles on it! BTW Autozone seal was $5.60+tax
