You guys can laugh if you like, but I have yet to have a rear seal leak. Got this tip from a long time engine builder in the area. Just cut down a 1/4" square rod to fit the grooves and use it to pound/pack the strings in. I swear, it really works!

Sounds like I'll be buying a mop. Any other suggestions regarding sealing ths thing up. Positive that it is the rear main as the bellhousing area of the trans was soaked with engine oil. This is the land of the free because of the brave

How do you install/cut the graphtite rope seal, flat with the surface in block and alu housing.Do you oil it before installation. Is it possible to push it in place with the crank installed? Or do you pack it real hard? And finally what do you use between the block and rear seal housing. Please explain. peter
