I replaced the timing cover on this engine. The new cover came with a seal already installed into the cover. My question is this seal a marine seal or do I need to get a different seal and put into it. I ordered it from Michigan Motorz and asked them this question. In the shipping box there was an extra seal in there and it was reddish colored. I called MM and talked with a parts guy and he said the cover should not have had a seal already installed on it so I was asking the question because I really dont want to swap the seal out but if I have to I will. Motor runs fine and I have an intermittent leak coming from that area but its only like a couple of drops every now and then. I have tightened all the pan bolts while the engine was warm to make sure they got tight enough.
