I notice when I installed mine twice ( had to remove it the first time to install torrington bearings ) that (both times) the outside rubber lip that rides on the crank spacer got turned under on one side. I had to move the timing cover up and down and side to side slightly to get the seal to sit flat against the spacer. It was hard to see the rubber turned inward , but I was afraid of a leaky seal so I was watching it really closely. It happened both times that I installed the timing cover. It is hard to describe exactly what I mean. If you need further clarification I can set up the extra cover, seal and spacer that I have and take a picture. They say a pic is worth a thousand words. Hope this helps.
