Picture of correctly installed rear crank seal? Does anyone have a picture handy of what the rear main crank seal (installs into the rear cover) should look like?
Thanks

Up.....
When you install this- it is generally done with the cover still bolted in place?
I don't have the GM install tool, but I read that the seal can be driven into place (after it is correctly seated on the crank) with an appropriately sized piece of PVC pipe?
Thanks

I don't have a picture. But the key (as I understand it) on this seal is it is double side lipped and you have to make sure that neither lip folds in and lays correctly. Of course, I am not sure how you can check on the inside side of the lip. Yes, the cover is in place and aligned before you install the seal. The thought of having a leak after I got the engine together prompted me to pay the bucks ($150?) for the Kentmoore tool. Wheel 2 Wheel would sell you theirs tool for about $90.
