front main seal?

While waiting for the BHJ to arrive, I pulled the front main seal and picked up a new OEM one. The dealership said this is 3rd revision. How far should it be seated as the front case does not have any lip nor does the seal to catch?

I could be way off, but the FOMOCO P/N (xxxx-AA) on the bag indicates it is first version, first release, at least in their records. The original was most likely superseded by more than one supplier (cost cutting push, better materials, targeting aftermarket installs, etc.) and maybe went EOL sometime back. Millions of motors use the same seal...very common I think.

Seat it flush with the outside boss where it sits. Make sure the snout isn't grooved from wear...

I centered mine, but don't think it matters too much so long as it is in completely and Square. If you're re-using the balancer then try to locate the new seal it so it will Not line up with the worn groove from the last seal.
