it looks like too much permatex was used on that seal. Im not surprised that its leaking by the looks of it . You're taking a chance installing the seal with the crank in because you dont know if the block was line honed to the point where the cap becomes shallower then the block side of the main. But yeah you can do it with the crank in . I haven't been so lucky doing it with the crank in.. Looks like those bearing are put in the wrong side . The holes go to the block not the caps ..
