I am unsure, does it go in from the front of the timing chain cover( dosent actually fit, seal is to thick) or does it slide in from the back(fits perfect and snug)? I kind of remember the old one being installed from the front cause i am still scraping gasket maker out of the center grove.

thanks in advance
