Oil Seal on 86 SEi Pulse Generator

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

John

I went to a place here in AZ called bearing belt and chain, they had the oil seals for just a couple bucks a piece. After trashing two of the OEM seals, I decided that was the better option. I think the ones I got were temken. There should be a similar place in your area. Get a couple just in case, because they are easy to mess up.

The base gasket is still available from honda, and that one's kind of a pita to get to seal too. But if those two seals are taken care of, the seal between case halves is only needed to keep outside stuff out... at least that's my experience.

Mine took 4 attempts and a lot of bad words, but it's been sealed up now for about a year.

How are you installing the seal? Are you using a socket?
