Open lip in (engine side) or open lip out (flywheel side)???
Trying to get this motor sealed up completely and this is the last little bit of info that I don't know and it isn't listed anywhere.

Open lip inside towards crankcase. Easy way to remember- any pressure in the crankcase will 'push' the seal tighter against the crankshaft.
