Crank/Pulley Seal Install Question I apologize in advance if this seems like an idiot question 
, but since I don't know I thought I'd ask...
When swapping the crank/pulley seal, does the oil need to be drained first?
I'm in the process of doing my first cam swap, and have thus far survived the driver-side spring swap (passenger side springs are going on today).
Thanks in advance!

Re: Crank/Pulley Seal Install Question No you dont have to drain the oil because the oil is in the pan, but I would definitally change it before you start it. You never know what kind of dirt fell in the pan while doing the swap. 
Re: Crank/Pulley Seal Install Question why are you changing it? I just did a cam swap (hotcam) in my '01 and there was no need to change it or any of the gaskets.
P.S. I did change my valve seals because they got distorted taking them out and I probably just did it wrong.

Re: Crank/Pulley Seal Install Question Thanks for the replies -
I actually answered my own question as soon as I pulled the timing cover.
The cam kit from Thunder Racing included it, so I thought I'd swap it out while everything was apart.
Thanks again!
