Rear Seal

Somebody talk me through this, it's the first time. I've got it all apart and I'm looking at what's in my hand and what's on the diagram, then I read the instructions and they say something backwards to what is drawn on the bag. The inside of the seal is beveled and there is a groove on the side. Where does the groove go, airside or oilside? Do I move the crank to the rear and front or just put the main bearing back on?

I got it. I couldn't get the crank to move one way or the other but it's back together.

Make sure to check your thrust bearing clearance man. I don't remenber the spec but I have seen what happens if it is too tight.

Which is the thrust bearing? I can turn the crank pretty easily.

The thrust bearing is on the #3 main bearing cap. You'll notice that this one not only has bearing to the crank, but also to the front and rear of the cap.
