tctrkca1 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpollo Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tctrkca1 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks. I knew that someone would have the answer. I could not find an answer on line or in the books I have. The books are factory manuals and were made before this sort of garbage was being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 You also got good answers on the felt ring on the 46-48 Chrysler site I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
