5. Install the lower half of the crankshaft rear oil seal in the rear crankshaft main bearing cap with undercut side of crankshaft rear oil seal toward the
FRONT of the engine. Allow the crankshaft rear oil seal to protrude approximately 9.53 mm (3/8 inch) above the parting surface to mate with the
upper half of the crankshaft rear oil seal when the rear crankshaft main bearing cap is installed.

amount of time the sealant begins to "set-up" and its sealing effectiveness may be reduced.
7. Install the rear crankshaft main bearing cap. Tighten the bolts to specifications.
