Quick question before I screw up. One peice rear main seal, the lip should go foward, right? Should the flat part of the seal go to the front of engine? Looks kinda like this [ . Thanks folks. Better safe than sorry later on.

The seal lip goes in forward, facing the front of the engine to where any pressure in the engine forces the lip into the crank surface forming a seal.
