Advice please.
I'm at the end of a rebuild of my engine and everything has gone well, except for the front oil seal. To cut a long story short, I can't get a new seal (Moss 520-000) into the timing cover. I've tried heating the cover, and have got a perfectly sized ring to help drift the seal in. However, it just won't go in without distorting. This is the second seal (the first went in eventually but must have been distorted).
So, is there a trick I'm missing, or is there a different supplier that offers a seal that is a better fit?
thanks
dave
