Rear Main Seal??
I'm finishing the rebuild of my new 'vette motor
The crank is a stock high mileage crank - all the journals are still within factory spec, however the old rear mean seal wore a groove into the back of the crank
My machinist wants to cut 1 rib off the new rear main seal. Does anyone know where I can get a rear main seal that rides on a different spot on the crank than the original one?
