I don't know which way to hammer out the oil seal on the timing cover?

Can we keep it going for a while at least with "the best sealers to use?".

 

Maybe which paint is the best on a timing chain cover-?. 

Colors that are original?

 

Good for a page or two?.

It could end.

I'm more worried about the authors response.

 

7-8 years ago I went to a psychiatrist thinking I may be getting the old timers disease.

I could not remember my phone # .....

 

Took a few years, I have a clear memory now.

 

When @MarcDeSoto talks about such stupid things as a seal .... I'm not against them .... just wish I could be there & give them a hug.

Actually, I was thinking of ending this thread, but if the people demand it, I am willing to continue.  I realize I'm providing entertainment here, so I did think of something more.  Today I put the plate back on, and the camshaft sprocket and chain.  I put the timing cover on loosely because I still have to center it on crankshaft hub.  I watched Keith's video of him installing his hub and vibration damper assy.  Boy he sure makes it look easy!  I thought you would need some kind of fancy hub installer to do that.  Maybe you do on my 48 DeSoto.  All Keith used was a leather mallet which got the hub assy in far enough so that his hub nut could finish the installation.  I wonder if I can do that to mine.  Mine doesn't seem to want to go in that far.  But I'll try again.

I fabricated a centering tool out of PVC plastic pipe, worked great, no leak after two years.
