I'm trying to find information on how far the 1 piece rear seal goes into the seal housing. I found one thread that says it goes in until it bottoms or seats. Another photo I found on CAC shows it flush with the outer edge (flywheel side) of the retainer housing.

I have it pressed in flush now. But I want to make sure it is in far enough before I put my oil pan on.

Any tips?

Thats great! Thanks, but I don't need a photo. Sounds like I have it in properly.
