FD, I just ordered the Tennessee silicone oil-pan gasket. Once received, I'll message them & let them know that they should hire you as their spokesman. I figured that there might be a run on them, so better to get my order in today.
Merry Christmas!

I've read fixing the rear seal is very difficult (I've done a couple of other cars), but from what I've heard the rear main seals don't always stay seal. I read the old rope/asbestos seals worked best and the tolerances (crank-block) didn't have to be that tight with the rope. If there was something proven I would consider it. I wont be driving the car for the winter months here in NJ............ but I have a few more projects already planned.Here are a couple of links regarding neoprene rear seal installation on the Ford Y. Also works for the FE and MEL engines. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost145797.aspx Neoprene Rear Seal Installation for the Y (and others) – Eaton Balancing And here is the link providing information about the Real Gasket Tennessee oil pan gasket. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost165810.aspx
