poly main seal?
I need to replace my rear main seal in the spring and was wondering
if the seal is available in a poly version. I'm running all poly suspension
pieces and would use poly seals if available.
thanx wade

Re: poly main seal? (wadey)
Wade, get yourself a Felpro rear main seal which if installed correctly will give you years of leak free service. While you're at it, get the one piece pan seal from Felpro. I did my '76 a few months ago and these are great gaskets. Frankly, I don't know if a poly seal is available, but then again, I don't know why you would want it. Your front end componet material has nothing to do with gasket material. Good luck.

Re: poly main seal? (wadey)
bushings and gaskets are two different things and as far as I know there is no such thing as a poly gasket other than the aftermarket rubber gaskets used on oil pans and valve covers but any rear main seal for a small block will be rubber. I also agree that Felpro is the way to go.
