Hi All,
I'm getting ready to install my timing gears/chain and cover. The
gasket kit I bought for the cover came with a new oil seal , as well (to my
surprise). It looks like an improvement over the 50's design - almost like
a double gasket with a thin spring to provide tension. My question is
two-fold: First, does anyone have experience with this type of seal (it is
a Fel-Pro gasket kit)? Is it at least as good as the original
design? Second, the instructions say "IMPORTANT: Do not install any seal
without break-in lubricant protection." This might be a dumb question, but
what is "break-in" lubricant? Also, what surfaces do you apply it
to?
One last question - when it comes to installing the seal, I was told to
freeze it before installing so the metal contracts and it installs easier.
Is it OK to lubricate the sides with, say, WD-40 also? Any other tips to
make the installation easier?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan Scott
