Has anyone had any trouble having the seal not staying in place because when I put the cover back on it pushed out and I had to push it back in. I have never seen one do that when you install them with a hammer they are in place and do not move.Has any one had this problem?

make sure seal is lubed on mating surface of crank then use a glue as the timing cover may be worn where seal mounts or use blue Loctite on edge then let sit for a bit
