i bought the seal from Pelican .... they were out of stock with the OEM one .. and recommended another brand one.

No special tool ....just placed insulation on top of the seal and hammered it all the way around.

will try to hammer it in deeper .. but i think it is as deep as its able to go.

and its flush with the sides.

btw, I plan on putting in Mobil 1 10w40 engine oil once everything has been done ... what do you guys think? this is the oil I can get easy access to.

i've read so many posts and articles about the oils, additives etc ... its confused me even more.
