Re: Junk Rear Main Seals

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

I know exactly what you mean "Junk".

I have pictures of what it looked like after I took out the one you
had trouble with, the silicone did not make it to the end of the seal
retainer but it did come out between the retainer and the block.

Take a look at this:

The following are good seals, it is what I am now using however I
tried their seal retainer and the one I have is actually taller than
stock and caused a problem with the pan gasket:

The good news on my 63 SF I can drop the center link and drop the pan
without any problems.  I used a couple of long bolts with the heads
cut off as guides to slide the seal retainer up and in place.  I had
the area completely clean and a dab of RTV in the corners.  I slid the
retainer in, made sure the side gibs looked good, pulled the guide
bolts out one at a time and installed the seal retainer bolts.

Good Luck
