i cant believe i didn't notice it before....but, im wondering if this will cause some kind of coolant leak. I would rather not have to take everything apart again to fix this (because cleaning the old stuff was a bi*ch!!), but if i have to, i guess i have no choice.
let me know what you guys think.
will this leak?

You do have the o-ring for the oil side right? (the opposite to the coolant)
Well, looks like i gotta take it off anyway. I only have ultra grey left, no more black. Will grey be strong for this job?

how many of those oil seals for the front cover do i need, 1 or 2? Does one go into the block, and the other into the cover? I only have one, so if i need another, wheres the best place to get one quickly?
nevermind, There seems to be some variations between different year KAs, so some gasket kits have more than one of those hat o-rings. The FSM for my 96 only shows one...so that's what I'm going with.

the one thing I can see from your pic that could cause a coolant leak is that on the square hole (coolant port) you need to stay to the perimeter of the hole and do a loop around that bolt hole . If you do it the way the pic shows then you could concievably have leakage around the head of the bolt to the outside . Rare but it could happen. This method in your pic can also lead to a very badly corroded bolt due to it being exposed to the coolant /water mixture and over time can be very hard to remove or even snap off when trying to remove.

ditto on this. there is nothing sealing between the upper bolt hole in the pick, and the main coolant galley into the block from the pump...that should be the highest psi water source.nismoautoxr wrote:the one thing I can see from your pic that could cause a coolant leak is that on the square hole (coolant port) you need to stay to the perimeter of the hole and do a loop around that bolt hole .

kinda important to seal it up tight.
