You can see where it rides in the first picture in this thread.

I just realized that I missed this post yesterday. I looked at the picture you referenced. I think you are right. This would explain why I was able to pry the timing cover from the top during disassembly. There is no way that the crankshaft seal could be oil tight and also allow a considerable amount play when removing the timing cover.
I’ll know once I get back and take a second look. But again, what you’re saying and with the picture shows seems to make sense. If that’s truly the case, then I will be installing the new seal on the timing cover before I install it.
