Front Oil Seal
I have to remove the pan on my 1939 221 engine to clean it out and repaint it. I was thinking of replacing the front oil seal with a newer one piece modern one. #1, What one piece seal would be the proper replacement and #2, Is it fruitless to replace the rope seal with something that may be no better? TIA

Re: Front Oil Seal
The one I like is the rubber encased one that Speedway sells,probably others sell it. Walt Dupont gave me a heads up on this one while I was putting my 59AB together,little red silicone sealer on it and it fits snug and centers up real well. No leaks since.

Re: Front Oil Seal
Yeah I heard that a one piece works nice. The silicone sealer is a must from what I understand. I wish I would have done it to my baby.

Re: Front Oil Seal
So... any special instructions regarding the timing gear cover? Does the pan and cover have to go on & off together or what?
