I taped this section in here so paint wouldn’t get in so the depth wouldn’t potentially change when I added the seal.

I think this is the way to go as well. Just feels like adding paint there would introduce a medium for allowing leaks to develop as the paint degrades. I was going to tape off all the sealing surfaces when I paint the cover and pulley. I am not sure if the sealing surface was painted originally or not. Knowing now the deal on the pulley snout and how it engages with the seal, I am not going to paint that part either.
