placing spring ends together and getting up into the seal insides was
difficult.. Can I assume once up there the spring stays??? Anybody know ??


Should have used rubber cement (3M's 847) on the outer
perimeter and in the engine case bore. The spring might have popped
off if you didn't keep the split ends lined up as you pushed the seal
in.
