 I took a look in my spare parts box and I found a seal (it was right on to=
p - I am not usually so lucky in my searches), which I believe to be the co=
rrect one.=C2=A0 It is a Timken 473229 double lip seal.=C2=A0 1.562" x 2.50=
2" x 3.13".=C2=A0 My engine is assembled, so I could not verify the shaft I=
D, but the OD is correct.=C2=A0 It is a fairly common seal for a transfer c=
ase (which I have no reason to have a seal for).
Googling, there is also a Timken 472635 seal, which is for a 1.552" shaft, =
but it is 0.500" thick.=C2=A0 The extra thickness may better position one s=
eal lip away from the split between the spacer and the damper hub.=C2=A0=C2=
=A0
I do not use a gasket to install the timing cover, but rather just use RTV.=
=C2=A0 Adding a gasket or two would also shift the seal's relative position=
, which may help (or hurt, depending on where the split is).=C2=A0 JoeB.=C2=
