Hi, All: I am starting to prepare for reassembly of my Ford 170, and I have a question about the rear seal. My engine has the pin removed from the seal, so I think it already had a rubber lip seal in place of the rope seal when it was disassembled. The gasket set I got is German, and it has rope seals. It also has the two rubber pan seals, and nothing else. Is it hard to buy just the rubber rear seal? I am not certain how to install the rope seals anyway. Thoughts?
I tapped out all the threaded holes in the block and cleaned everything up. I have never seen a machine shop spray paint the interior of the crankcase and bottom of the pan gasket surface with what appears to be casting-colored paint. Even the main cap landings had paint on them. I scraped paint most of the afternoon to get rid of this stuff. Hummm...
