My question is: Does the Indy block take a standard main seal, or am I supposed to buy an special seal from Indy. The seal and side o-rings seamed to go in perfectly. Any help/special tricks would be very much appreciated.

This is pretty much how I did it, except for rounding the corners. I'll try that when I replace the seal

I've never used any type of o-ring on the rear main.. Didn't know they even had one.. Always used "Right Stuff" and the red Fel Pro seal and called it good. Chris..
