You have to set the two piece lip seal into position with a specific amount of silicone sealer in the anti-rotation notches that are built into the block. You do not fill the area with sealer, otherwise it will cause too much pressure and cause the lip seal to fail. That is why you drop in the crank, bolt the mains down and don't rotate the crank for a day, in order to give the sealer time to cure.

We just finished up measuring the ring gaps in the cylinders and then installing the rings on the pistons. Getting ready for piston/rod installation tomorrow.
