I was looking at something on a couple of website's that caught my attention concerning 1-pc crank seals, as follows
FRONT (no trim):
Fel-Pro 470543
National 450446--------Advance Auto Parts, try it ~ $8, OR order on the find.com
Napa NOS19786
Napa NOS19785
REAR (no-trim):
1972 Ford Maverick 200 cid L6 (=> Main diameter = 2.2486” vs. _______“ for 226)

Please notice the 1-pc REAR seal for the 1972 Maverick 200; interesting, but I believe a 2-pc rear seal will be necessary due to the thrust flange - NOT SURE, since both my 226 cranks are with the machinist. I am wondering if any of you may have access to the factory, std main's dia. for the 226, for comparison. ______"
I measured the inside half-diameter of the front (oil pan) and rear seals (aluminum flage w/3 bolt holes) times 2, and have the following diameters; I suspect close to the crank diameter where the seals ride:
REAR = ~ 2.78"
FRONT = ~ 2.22"
If dia comparison's are close, then on the front it might be feasible to insert a 1-pc seal into the rope/seal journal and secure with epoxy or something and not deal with the rope seal. Of course need to investigate both front and rear options for feasible substitution; 2-pc for the rear seems worth pursuing.
Has any reader on here attempted a substitution of 1-pc nitrile seal and/or 2-pc split nitrile seals?
Thanks
