Re: 1940 282 ci engine front seal

Yes, that's correct and there is no other front seal. Basically the oil just goes into the timing cover to lubricate the chain, then runs freely back into the pan so the seal is little more than a splash guard which is all that's needed. As long as the gasket around the timing cover is good, there is nowhere else for the oil to go.
