Hey Doc! I remember you saying something about concentricity between the crank and the rear main seal, and that sometimes its way off. Also, that sometimes you're better off using a rope seal because of this. What is a good way for checking this, so that you use the best seal (rubber or rope) for your motor? (note: my motor is still in the car, if this matters). Thanks Mike mike.j.moser@boeing.com |

This is hard to check with the engine assembled and in the car, I check the main seal receiver groove and cap position as part of engine "blueprinting" before the engine is assembled. For an "in car" re-seal, I would go with the rubber type seal. They are easer to install and more forgiving for your in car reseal job. DD Quote:
