The sources I read recommended oil on the crank shaft to help the seal slide well during installation. And primer on the block.
Regarding the wait time, you'll have to use some gasket maker in the two side grooves, and since that needs to cure your wait time will be longer than two hours anyways.

Below it also says to wait 2 hours so the PTFE seal lip can settle in the right position??
The Bentley manual says to lightly oil the Crankshaft. So has anyone experienced this??
