Quote: : Well, I know that big blocks use the same type : retainer, I don't know if the diminsions are : the same though. The seals are the same but the SL6 main seal retainer housing is a different shape so the BB unit will not work on a Slant. One reason these retainers seem to "get lost" is that they are made of aluminum and if they get put into a "hot tank" for cleaning, they desolve, never to be seen again. Do you have the special bolts? (3/8 - 12 point head) I have extras....when you get a replacement, be sure to "fit check" it to the empty block, just to be sure the seal aligns correctly. Mock everything up before the crank goes in. DD
