Rear Main Seal Question.

I just installed my new rear main seal. I am pretty paranoid about everything with this new build. I tapped the seal in the housing a little further than the outside. It is not all the way to the lip though. I really do not want this thing to leak.

Can the seal be pushed in the housing too far or will the lip stop it before then?

Thanks in advance

Ryan

Hmm.....Wish I could find some clear pictures of it installed/being installed, maybe I suck at searching. This might help:

The seal should seat up against the lip. Tap it in untill it seats. Use anerobic sealer on the housing when installing on the block to prevent any leaks.
