I decide my t1 oil pump in my 2056 was doing me no favors with a smaller than ideal OD.
I still had the T4 oil pump from the 2.0 that was doing its job when I had a cam thrust bearing fail /knock, so I decided to pull it a part for inspection.
I will perform some measurements and get it cleaned up, if it turns out to be in good shape.
The pics look like a great core.

Rear main seal tool, use a block of wood. Go easy and make sure it's not cocked, flush with the case. End play, shoot for .003.

Yep that works,I use a small amount of engine oil on the outside of the seal then start it in by hand level then use my soft "dead blow " mallet to tap it in flush with the case,done this for years and never had an issue.
I don't know about the fit of the VR orange seal in a T4 cause I don't use them anymore after experiencing a very poor fit in my 911 engine ,it was so loose I pushed it in by hand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) the Elring replacement got the mallet treatment and not leaking a I'am sure the VR one would have leaked .
Also make sure the flywheel seal running surface is nice and smooth and lubed up and the o ring area is clean before fitting and lightly oiled.
Front seals don't really give issues unless they are just plain worn out ,if so you end up with a shitty mess in the fan housing ,fan ,cooler and across the barrels,certainly worth cleaning up right,cheers.
