In/out crankshaft seal
My new seal is very different thsn the old one from 78. It is the type with a spring around the inner lip. Problem is that the inner lip wont go over the crank. If I push it it wil go bad.
Am I mistaken is this in (front) or out?

90 x 110 x 12. The same RMS used on every 928, and many 944s and 911s of the era. But there are multiple flavors of RMS in the supply chain, you want to get a Porsche seal that has the curved OD partially coated, partially exposed.
Don't use a generic seal here, it's a PITA to have to go back in. BTDT, twice. (You'd think I'd learn....)
Good discussion of the successions of RMSs here: (post #18):

You are bad Rob...
I will lube it up before I put it in then
I bought it from Rosepassion in France - of the biggest suppliers here in the EU and with the most appalling customer service.

Shameless plug:
Roger from 928RUS ships to Europe EVERY DAY. Sure, the order starts in TX US, but I assure you'll get the right stuff, with very little delay.

Got a 'side-view' picture of the seal you got from Rosepassion? I'd be interested to see how it's coated (or not).

Rob. Half is coated. They just wrote me that a new is on the way free of charge because of the molding mark. So I guess they have some customer service after all.
Doc. Would you want to pay 50% extra in import taxes, Einstein!?

Well, there is no reason to be rude.
Vat is between 19 and 25% depending on where you live. Ad 10% in customs and anoter couple of % in fees plus shipping and you have got yourself some expensive parts.
USD/EUR doesnt help either.
