Looks like the seal was rolled during installation--ask me how I know what that looks like........

Installation tip: reinstall chain guide pin AFTER cover is in place. The chain guide pin protrudes out further than the two cover alignment pins. If you install the cover with the pin in place, the starting position of the cover is further away from the block. This results in the bottom lip of the cover snagging the seal instead of sliding over top of it...... Again, ask me how I know......
