Ok I feel dumb. The older crank seal is still in there isn’t it? I suppose sometimes it helps to post and see your mistakes.

I took different pictures as reference points.

Ok folks got a question here. I’m getting ready to reassemble my timing chain cover but ran into a speed bump. Here is my cover and new crank seal. Question is how does this seal get pressed on? It almost looks like it’s too big. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, but I have so much more respect for individuals like you. I do understand how tough mental illness can be. Just remember, the monkey always talks for the person on THEIR back. We may be Pain’s but we are always listening. Thanks for sharing :)

Finished. Also got to replace fuel pump and fuel pump push rod. Everything check out. Old rod was about an 1/8 off. Figured I already bought a new one might as well. Again thanks folks.

Some much awaited pictures

Your absolutely right it is not hard. One of my original questions was rather I could install the chain at 12 and 12. Further, my main concern was potentially damaging the crank by rotating the engine if need be since dismantled. I’ve been out of the game for 16 years. Simple now. But like you...

Got it. Thank you :)

Ok sounds good. Also just to clarify I’m not talking about the metal plate no, it’s not the oil slinger. That is more plate like. What I’m talking about is a small circular spring that’s about the same size as the inside portion of the slinger. Almost looks like a small bracelet that stretches...

Old chain is still on. I’m just going to rotate the crank and line em up. Thanks

Oh another question regarding the timing chain cover (stock). I noticed upon removal a metal circular spring-like retainer fell into the timing cover. My question is does this need to be put back on? The gel-pro gasket set didn’t include one. I assume this goes around or inside the timing...

Thanks for your help

Sorry rotating the engine with the old chain still on. What’s the best way to do this or is there a way? Do I have to reassemble or just use the bare crank bolt in the crankshaft and rotate clockwise (counter would lessen the bolt) until they line up...obvious way right?

I got that. Thank you. My question is rotating the engine with everything off

In talking with the old man he said that changing a timing chain is like setting a broken bone. Doesn’t matter son if your at 12 and 12 when a doctor sets a broken bone he can set it at any direction as long as the bones line up like they did to begin with. Kind of an old school analogy which...

Also should be noted that what I thought was TDC with the piston stop was also lined up with 0 on the timing chain cover

I haven’t replaced the chain yet. Old one is still on. So I suppose this brings two questions due to the screw up. First if I have to rotate the engine what’s the best way? Reassembly halfway? Or is there a way to turn the motor with the timing chain exposed/void of the damper. Second: if I...
