I'm going to be putting the same seal in this weekend. I suppose you drive the seal flush with the timing cover and then mount the HB all the way back just short of contacting the cover? is this correct? Maybe just mark where the HB was before I take it off?
The HB goes on until its stops, you can't put it on the crank to far, so just install it until it will no longer go on.
Note: Do not use the HB bolt to run on the HB there are special tools for this job, chances of stripping the crank threads are pretty good, also don't use a hammer to install the HB that can and will be hard on the crank bearings.
