quick one lads and probably been asked a million times lol. im about to get the cambelt ,tensioner and idlers done. is it worth doing the front crank seal while im there? not doing water or oil pumps as ive read they rarely fail and best left alone if no issues. car is a bug sti. i take it theres no difference in the crank seal with it being avcs or anything? thanks for any input.

i wouldn't pass up on the oppertunity to check the screws on the back of the oil pump. every one i have ever taken off has had loose screws, even a 36k miles v2 sti lump

new o ring and refit the screws with screwlock . on mine the oil was coming out of the front crank seal because the o ring was knackered

I had my cambelt done few years ago mechanic said didn't need crank oil seal doing as was ok. Wish he'd done it though 😔
