Stus-List Westerbeke W33 Advice
I pulled the engine this fall so I could work on the engine compartment. Boat is a 40-2 Aft Cabin so engine is relatively easy to pull. Plan was/is to do basic stuff like mounts, wiring, hoses, injectors, valve adjust. Plan is not to rebuild the engine. Engine has ~3000 hrs. Does not seem to have any issues. The question I have for those who might know is how hard is it to change crank seals. What special tools would I need access to? For clarity I already have transmission, damper plate and flywheel off on the PTO side. Of course there is a picture :-) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NB4JiY8mQb1Is6OXOlHCbHvwYA4hTriX/view?usp=sharing There is a small leak on PTO side. I don't think it is terrible but still a little leak. Timing cover side seems to be leak free. Thanks in advance. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Looks fairly straightforward. Is it shown on Page 202 or 204 here?: https://www.westerbeke.com/parts%20manual/32139_rev4_13-33_parts_list.pdf Can't quite see if seal will slip over the flange on the end of the crank. Bet if you took the engine, seal and gasket to a tractor repair guy he's do it reasonably if you don't feel comfortable. A crankshaft seal replacement is a fairly simple generic job. There are lots of you tube videos on how. Just be careful not to scratch the surface on the block or crankshaft. I rebuilt an M-30 once. A lot of the work was done by a local cylinder head and engine block shop that worked on cars and dragsters. An engine is an engine. Dennis C.

From what I see in the picture, all you will need is a good quality torque wrench, and a Way to drive the seal into the seal plate. A good gasket scraper, some acetone or brake kleen to remove all oil residue from gasket surfaces. Locktight for sealing bolts. Some good quality gasket sealer for seal plate. Your local NAPA dealer can guide you in the right direction for sealer. The flywheel might be clocked so it will only fit one way. Good luck. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah LH39Port Orchard YC wa.
