timing cover seal??
I am putting new seals in my motor before I install the motor, but I have already wiped out 2 of the water pump drive seals. I think the shaft may be pointed up a tad. anybody have any ideas??? kinda got me held up

I'd make sure the actual water pump drive bearing is lined up and on the cam drive teeth right. I always start it throught the seal before I try to put the cover on the dowles. Also make sure the seal surface on the drive it's self has no grooves in it because this will allow it to leak.
