RE: Rear Seal Installation Question

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Gary,

I still have one old style seal in a gasket kit but Fel-Pro should know 
what they are doing, I'm going to install the new seal.

Good to see that I am not the only one who is concerned about the seal 
design change.

Per the instructions the side seal will just be RTV.  They supply two 
pipe cleaner things that get soaked in water and inserted in the RTV 
side seals.  RTV needs moisture to cure and I guess this must work.

Thanks Again
Dennis
