Mark, I had no seals left to reference when I began, and its tough to see the "correct" way to install them via pics. I almost put mine in upside down too! Perhaps when I drop the engine again I'll take some pics for future reference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
On a side note, I guess I should try to push my tins down to see if I can get better fitmet, as well as hog-ring the ends. Great thread guys, thanks! |

40 year old engine tins are all beat to hell. most people forget to unhook the rubber before dropping the engine so they get pulled upward.
engine tin is below engine shelf engine tin outer flange is not parallel to shelf. it should slant down 1st illustration in thread is incorrect |

sean, don't you mean the engine tin aspect is incorrect and the seal install is right?
