1 pc. Rear Main Seal Question
very simple question. on a one peice RMS, which way does it go, does the flat side go towards the flywheel, or the rest of the engine?

it doesnt say, but it LOOKS like the flatside goes to the flywheel...
on a side note, should i just put assembly lube on it instead of oil?
nevermind, it says install with "spring side" towards engine, is that the side with the groove?
