Got a question about how far to put in the front crankshaft seal in this engine. You guys know of any tricks for this. I would seem pretty straight forward. We bent up the first seal we tried while trying to get it in square, but it ended up going in too far(we think) and bent it up while trying to take it back out. Every other seal that I have put in usually have a lip or something to let you know that it in place. Maybe we are overthinking this. Of course, we will be using a big socket and hammer to put it in.
 






Ford lists a special tool for this that appears to have a lip on it in my engine manual. Ford tool number 303-102 with a 303-093.
