Help! I have swapped my front belt system to the mercury mountaineer front belt drive system and I have a leak at the front timing cover seal. I used the timing cover and two side mounting brackets off the mountaineer 5.0 but I am wondering if it uses a different front seal than the regular 302 front seal which is what I used?
My original engine is a 1985 ford 302 block which I had installed and then added Flo tech heads, headman headers, edelbrock performer manifold, edelbrock 600 series carburetor and upgraded cam. I used the 302 gasket set and seal, which has a flanged seal. when I purchased the mountaineer cover I assumed it took the same seal as the 302-5.0 mustang set. Any help would be appreciated.
My 302 seal has a metal flange and the replacement mountaineer seal looks like it has a rubber outer side, and it looks like it is leaking between the flange and the housing but its hard to tell.
