Rear rope seal
Any old block buffs with rope seal installation knowledge?

Re: Rear rope seal
I have done a few....what do you need?
Other than the "puller" tool, there really isn't much too doing this. |

Re: Rear rope seal
Just wondering how much of the rope seal needs to run past the bearing cap or do you need to trim the seal to allow for clearance for torqueing.
The engine is a 283 on a engine stand for rebuild. How does the rope seal make a oil seal at the ends?

Re: Rear rope seal
Napa can still order you a tool, if you can find the guy that's been there for twenty years.
