There are a lot of discussions on the side seals that are on each end of the rear main cap, that seal the cap to the block. The discussions are almost always on the 4 cyl Fords. There a few different types. There are what is called paper, which I have never seen, that is supposed to insert easily then seal as oil is absorbed. Then there are the ones that appear to be rubber that you slide down in and then insert a flimsy steel pin into in order to tighten it. The problem with these is even with profuse lubricating the rod bends when you have it 3/4 of the way in. These, in my opinion are just plain miserable. HoboNC recommended the Victor-Reinze RTV silicone applied into the space. I have done this and it worked well with the first and second one, but the third leaked, and after taking it apart again the problem was that there was an air gap in the sealant. The engine that I did most recently was an old Nissan. The seal that I got from a specialty vendor included some very nice side seals They are molded of rubber that is stiff enough to slide in easily, yet soft enough to make a good seal. The big thing is that they have a a rod molded inside that protrudes just slightly at one end. They work extremely well! It would be great to know who makes them and see if they are available for other applications. One would think that they would be. The vendor in CA that I got them from guards most of his sources very jealously, repacking them to eliminate the manufacturer's identity. Hs anyone come across seals like this?

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
