Re: FRONT model A ‘modern’ seal use.
I have not used one myself even though I bought one to use on my engine rebuild but ended up keeping the rope. But I have heard (for what it is worth) that guys have had leaks with rope seals and modern seals with and without sealant. I think it all depends on installation and care not to damage the neoprene for sure. Some timing covers and oil pans have more sharp areas than others IMO.
