Default Re: rope packing around crankshaft

As quickchange says, Yes it is the same. If appears to be a bit to long don't be tempted to trim it back as you will most likely finish up with a leak. I also use a little bit of silicon sealant at the ends of the rope. Others recommend soaking rope in oil before installing. I just wipe a small amount of oil or grease on the surface.
