Crank seals? OEM vs PRO X

[Ensue156]

Bought crank seals from Blowsion, didn’t even look at them till today and they are PRO X.
I’m installing a brand new OEM crank and every thread on here people say to use OEM seals only. Any truth to that? Good, bad, ok, throw them away?

Their website claims, as far as I can interpret (the wording isn't great), that their seals are made in the same factories as OEM. If that is the case you should be right.

Pro-X are good…. Same as OE

Aftermarket starters, stators , bendix and control cables have a p. poor reputation and rightfully so! Pro-X products are fine, "same as OE" (thanks, John). Been using their seals with new oem cranks as well as legacy RAD strockers for a very long time

Do they have 'ars' printed on them? If yes, they are same as oem seals.

Cool yes they say “ars”, thank you all for the quick feedback. I’m going to fill the seal slots with 1211 and seal them in unless somebody tells me not to.
Can’t see why it would be a bad idea, it cured my old WRX’s impossible valve cover leak.

You want to do both curves around the seal and the whole sealing edge of bottom case half. OEM service book has all this info, torque specs etc, everything you need to know to rebuild the motor.
