Quick opinion on my oil pump seal please.
I have just fitted the oil pump seal. No special tool but took my time with the VictorR plastic guide. I'm 85% certain the lip is fine.
Is this pushed in the right amount/look about right or do I need to go a bit further? I read about 1-2mm proud.
Thanks

if i get you well i think you need to be 1-2mm in not protruding from the pump

If fitting a new pump can you fit the seal into the pump or best to fit after, i understand there is a risk of stuffing the seal either way.

No you can only fit it afterwards or the pump wont go on.
