    It's the other way. Passenger side is approximately 12 o clock and driver side is approximately 11 o clock. Found it in some Ford repair documentation and a_d_a_m's write up below:

    Thank you for confirming. Cam sprockets moved around on me a bit when changing the chains, but ended back up at approximately 12 PS and 11 DS once I lined up chains with their timing marks and the crank at 6 o clock TDC.

    you can also cut a piece of 2x4 with a hole saw and use the circle to knock it out and reinstall the seal.
    Knocks out from the rear, correct? As in, hit it from the backside of the seal?

    Yep, that's the Ford parts manual I referenced. A great manual for anyone looking to do this job (once you're finally inside the cover).

    It's the other way? You wrote the exact words I said.

    Whoops. My brain saw "12:00" next to "DS" and interpreted it incorrectly. My goof. You were correct indeed. Thanks for confirming.
