When seating that seal is it box end down or box end against bearings

I agree, it looks like a void in the casting.

Does the boxed or closed end go against the bearing or the mech seal

Spring towards the oil-side, if that's what you're asking.

Thank you buddy 1 more question I am coaching my boy Via the phone lol. Does that oil seal get pressed to the Mech seal? Because that gap is far wider then the oil seal

See pp. 4-5 and 4-6

Numeral 4 refers to chapter (Cooling System) while - (dash)# refers to the ordinal page in that chapter, i.e., first, second, third, etc.

I use my cellphone camera to take disassembly pictures to help me upon reassembly. It helps avoid mistakes.
