With regards to the front seal, it works. Apply some RTV silicone
sealant to both the timing cover and oil pan surfaces. The water pump
cannot be installed until after the timing cover is in place. Notch the
oil pan gaskets to accept the oil seal. And apply a little RTV there, to
seal pan gasket to oil seal.
The front pulley must be inspected prior to installation of the oil
seal. Many times the pulley is cracked, along the woodruff key area.
This crack will act like a fly cutter, and ruin the oil seal ( it will
also destroy the rope seal).
