25 Buick front cover seal

[carmover]

I am on the fence about which seal to use I have the lip seal from bob's and when I ordered the front cover gasket set from Olson's it came with the original style felt seal I need some opinions on this to help me make up my mind

I did adapt the timing cover seal to a lip seal. Since I used the original sheet metal cover to hide things I also left some of the felt inside since the shaft has a spiral groove cut on it. A little insurance. No leaks for years after that. Of course now the engine is still at the shop in Cazanovia NY. No word on progress to report.

Ron, 

     See this link.  I followed others and I am installing a lip seal as well.  In addition, I am installing a shaft sleeve because the pulley shaft has a groove cut in it.  I will be putting a little 2 part epoxy in the groove, and then installing the shaft sleeve over that after the epoxy is dry.  I bought everything except the lip seal on Amazon.
