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?

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
