Hi guys;
I need replace old seals in the autostick oil pump, but aparently old seals was replaced in the past (not stock position), I have two options:





1.- both new seals with spring inside
2.- both new seals with spring outside

What is correct position??

Apreciate advice, thanks and Regards

#2 position is correct. You want to keep oil from mixing.
Look at the way a flywheel seal installs, same idea.

My apologies, edit my post...... picture and option #2, with spring outside (to oil side) like a flywheel seal?...in both the spring should go towards the oil side?, maybe they need lubricate for a long duration...

Yes, you want the spring side of seals facing out on both sides.
