I just installed the crankshaft oil seal further in.

About 1/2-3/4 of the outside surface of the seal is aligned with the outer edges of the housing just as the housing begins to taper outwards toward the exterior. It's hard to see, but it appears that 1/4 is about 2 mm too deep as to the outer seal position; in other words, I can see the non-tapered part of the seal housing. This situation is consistent with the misalignment of the seal as I posted above.

I'm installing a gray Elring seal. I don't know how thick the new seal is but the old, orange one is 9 mm thick. If they're the same, I have 7 mm of seal coverage over the outer seal housing.

To prevent leaks, do I need to realign the seal, or am I okay?
