After a successful road trip of around 450 miles in my 1962 Scout 80 it became apparent I need to replace most of the engine seals. 
It’s a 1962, 152, manual, 4x4.
Got the transmission and transfer case off and pulled the old rear main seal. It had a black rubber ring behind it, from what I can tell it is a spacer to relocate the seal and keep it out of a groove in the crank. Anyone else find something like this? I got a speedi sleeve for it so I’m not going to reinstall it.
Can I pull and reseal the rear cam cover? I don’t want to remove it if it’s got a snout or bearing or something that’ll keep me from reinstalling it. I can’t tell if it’s leaking since the rear main was throwing oil everywhere but I figured now is the time.
Thanks.
