Review on πŸ” Rear Engine Main Seal Set - Fel-Pro BS 11829-1: Optimize Your Search by John Maskirta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! for spare parts

(Application = Gen-1 SBC 350, 1978 Blazer) This was my first car rear main seal repair and ended up being a much simpler and easier repair than I expected; The old gasket was released by gently pressing with a small screwdriver and needle nose pliers (don't touch the crank!). I was able to fit a new gasket with the shoehorn, but the lip of the block sheared off the back of the gasket slightly - I highly recommend deburring this lip before you start installing the gasket around the crank into the block. I used dish soap on the back and engine oil on the crank side for lubrication. The hardest part of the whole job was accessing the compressor and reinstalling the sump.

Pros
  • Rear main bearing oil seal installation kit
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
