Front Cover & Oil Seal: Installation

  1. Oil seal in timing cover should be renewed if necessary. Make sure that oil thrower behind crankshaft pulley is attached with face marked "F" away from engine. Fill annular groove between lips of oil seal with grease. Lube hub of pulley and push into seal. At same time turn pulley to avoid damage to seal.
  2. With new gasket in place slide pulley onto shaft with keyway in line with key in crankshaft. Turn cover as necessary to align bolt holes with those in crankcase. Do not strain cover against flexibility of seal. Insert and tighten bolts, replace and tighten pulley attaching bolt.
