230 front crank brg


Recommended Posts

I am reinstalling a 1945 230 engine that I got in boxes. I didn't order parts but the came from Rockauto and there are two o'rings in a baggie that have a tag that says to cut and use to seal front crank seal cap??. Also in the parts kit is a large felt donut that doesn't appear to fit anything. Any ideas? Jim

You will notice on the casting which fastens over the front main cap to give the pan gasket a surface to rest on there are   two straight slots

where it rests on the block.  Original gasket sets had two round neoprene strips which filled these slots.  The o rings, when cut will do this job but so also would some silicone.

 

Not all engines used the felt washer that Don has put in his reply.

You also got good answers on the felt ring on the 46-48 Chrysler site I see.
