I had to replace a leaking transmission seal so the inner primary had to come off. While I have it all apart I decided to look at the engine seal too.
Now my question is being that I have isolated my primary I have heard that the engine seal should be reversed, is this important? I have a new seal they are cheap enough and can do it now while it is apart.
My 82FLH with oem oil supply to the primary chain was in reverse from the factory. I replaced it (same as you when i replaced the transmission seal) the "normal " way round...no probs
BTW that alt winding looks like a two year old wound it. just sayin
