[TR] Timing Chain Cover Oil Seal

Tue Aug 7 11:43:34 MDT 2018

Dear All,
Back from a week in the Bahamas..ahhhhh....
The new timing chain and sprokets are on.  The cover has been degreased and is ready for external black enamel paint.
I dug out the old oil seal from the cover.  Crumbled pieces came out and scraped as much as I could out of there (old spring came out also)
I would like to ask the group for any suggestions on how to get the new oil seal into the cover.  The manual says from the rear of the cover with the spring facing forward tap the seal into the opening with a tapping tool (i.e. piece of wood) and hammer.
The seal has a diameter of about 2.5 inches and is not flexible but the inner diameter of the opening is about 2 inches.
Any hints on how to do this?  It seems to defy the laws of physics.

Thanks folksErkan

Window covers. The most widely used were JC Whitney of Chicago which were pretty ugly.

Bill -

I was on a JCWhitney budget back then but did get the Vilem B Haan items
from time to time.? I still have a pair of those Jim Clark gloves (the
original, repros are now available) -- paper thin kangaroo skin and only
used now for special occasions.

I believe this is what you are talking about?? As you can see in the picture, these have been gathering dust in my garage.? They are definitely for sale.? The vinyl is in good shape.? They need a 4th leg, but that shouldn?t be too hard to fabricate.
