Default Oil pump seal

I have a Revtech oil pump, and the oil seal is on the Back Side of the pump (Return) ..How do you install the seal ? Open side of the seal Facing the motor or open side of the seal away from the motor ?

Welcome to the HDFORUM.

I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here, as much as you enjoy bikes.

Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, just like you, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.

The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the year.

Of course, you can always add it to any thread with a question.

You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture that will appear once in your post every page length to the signature lines.

If you like, you can also add a favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your posts.

PS…Questions would probably get more comments in the proper area using the dropdown menu under Forums in the menu above.

It’s possible if a Community Team member sees your post, they may move it to a better area.

If they do, only as a suggestion by me, make another new thread back here in the welcome area to say hello and if desired introduce yourself.

The lip side faces the pressure side. Think of it like the cup in a master cylinder. However I would ask Revtech for sure .


Thinking here would or could find someone who is familiar with this pump.

@JJacob I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Engine Mechanical Topics section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.

Please feel free to post a new thread back in the Welcome area to introduce yourself.
