Hi folks,
Well, the package from Moss Motors arrived today.
Included is the oil seal.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like the one I banged out of the timing cover:

The one on the left is the original one and, as you can see is totally enclosed
in a metal case. The replacement has one side open.
Question is which way round does this seal get pressed into the timing cover
recess- I think it could physically go either way.
If I had to guess I suppose the "open" side would be pushed in first - that way
the seal would end up being totally enclosed. (The "open" side would be in
contact with the metal of the recess - if that makes sense.)
At the good advice of a list member, I ordered a 1/2 ton press from Horrible
Fright ($30 + $8 shipping) but now I'm anxious to get started. What do you
think my chances are of successfully "tapping" the new one place (using the old
one as a drift). If I remember right, HF stuff takes about 2 weeks to get
delivered.
As usual, thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards, Adrian TS58324
