Re: [FWDLK] Oil seal for the chain case cover

[Bob Moore <remoore@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should always replace the seal unless it is brand new or recently
replaced already.  I knock 'em out with a screwdriver and hammer from the
front side.  Putting them in is a little more delicate, a little smear of
sealer around the outside and start it gently with a few taps around the
rim, being careful not to deform it, or a flat round plate slightly larger
than the O.D. of the seal- once it starts straight, you tap it in even until
it seats in the bore.

You need a 'timing cover gasket set' which usually consists of a gasket and
seal.  Should be pretty common once they find it in the 'old car' book or
the computer, probably the same for all 350-440(????) 1958 on??

Good luck and have fun!

Subject: [FWDLK] Oil seal for the chain case cover

Hi all,

I just removed the chain case cover on my 58 Fireflight 361.  From your
experience, do I need to replace the oil seal as part of routine
maintenance, or is that not usually a problem?  If replacement is
recommended, how readily available are the seals?  The service manual shows
a special puller to remove and reinstall it.  How have you folks removed and
installed them in the past (assuming the parts for the puller are not
available)?
