That has been a Chrysler recommendation for years,forget it and use a good seal,retainer and pay attention to the installation.
Bob - It is not my intention to start a whole new string on rear main seal leaks, however I would appreciate your thoughts on the best seal kit(s) and retainer(s), again for a street motor.

I would buy one of the billit rear seal retainer offered by Indy and others.At the mating surface between the upper and lower seals put a dab of silicone,be carefull not to get it on the seal lip.Also add a skim coat of silicone to the retainer surface that meets the block and in the side grooves for the side seals.Do the side seals first and install the two side seals,press in to remove any excess silicone and let cure.This will help hold them in place. After you install the retainer in place take silicone and apply it to the parting line at the outside and at the parting lines at the oil pan rail. Let it cure 100% before adding engine oil.

Perfect. I have filed this away for future reference.
Hmm. Looks like Mancini, Hughes and Indy all have Billit offerings.

"I used the Mancini one on 2 different engines with zero problems" MAC56 did you use any special installation techniques with those 2 motors? Thanks Mike
