Should we mention that there are 2 different front pan-to-timing cover seals and you need to dry-fit the cover to determine which one to use?
Since nobody knows what pan is on this thing.........

It was explained earlier about the need to drop the pan to get a good angle installing the cover or some will trim the flange lip corners to help w/installation.
I don't know how far back it was so you'll need to re-read through the posts. The seal that goes against that lip on the cover & butts up to the oil pan rail needs to be fixed in place so it doesn't shift around during the install. RTV/sealant/silicone sometimes doesn't do a great job holding it in place.
It was recommended to me when doing the task the way you're doing it to use gasket glue to keep it where it needs to be. That info was probably mentioned in the previous posts as well.
Every install will require a different approach based on how your doing things & the parts being used.
