Did you get a gasket set? It should be with that. Best Gasket is a good one.

I used a Neoprene Seal with "The Right Stuff" in Place of the supplied Side Seals. So far its dry.

If you haven’t read Ted Eaton’s article on the rear main seals, read it first. 292’s haven’t been as much of a problem, but the 312’s with the “orange” seal were a real problem. Guess how I know.

I had never had a Ford YBlock that did not leak from the real seal. After reading Ted's article, I followed his instructions and my 292 doesn't leak. It's not the seal, it's the rear seal retainer that's most of the problem. Great info.
