Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal

[Bambino126]

My last question is this: How far are you supposed to drive the Crank Oil Seal into the bearing carrier?

When I took the bearing carrier out, the last person had stopped when the seal was just flush with the top of the carrier. Is that the right thing to do?
Just to see how far they go, on my dead bearing I drove this one down all the way. It stops 6 mm below the top.




Also here is a pic of my new bearing. Seems to have the 'white metal' people were talking about

Flush is good I usually smear some hylomar or hermatite round the edge and press it in
