Help with 340 timing cover oil seal please
These are pix of the seal that I took out. It has a nice, flat surface to drive it into position.
These are pix of the new seal. This one looks to be intended to be driven in from the outside. To keep the "wings" of the seal in the correct orientation, I would have to drive the seal from the thin edge, with no surface that can absorb the force of the installation. I don't see how I could do that without destroying the body of the seal?
For sure, I was in the process of taking some and uploading them. This is the cover style that my engine has. The flat surface of the seal will need to bottom in this position.
