Uncle-Pekka Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 My 230 leaks oil from the rear main bearing seal. I pulled the pan and rear main seal housing and found that the seal (sort of split lip seal package) is shrunked and petrified due to age. Now, this seal seems to be available at Bernbaum, Rockauto & some other suppliers. Are they different by supplier or are all the same? Are re-manufactored seal different from original Mopar design? For better or worse? Please share your exprience... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 When I rebuilt my flathead I got all my parts from Vintage Power Wagons. I know other guys on the forum have done the same and I have heard nothing but good things about them. You can also call or e-mail if you have problems. They actually work on these engines. They don't just sell parts. www.vintagepowerwagons.com Quote
grey beard Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 It is not difficult to get into trouble with these rear main seals. I recommend you call either Vintage Power Wagon or Terrell Machine - see the links section for phone numbers - and speak with one of their counter men. These guys are very knowledgeable about our MoPars. You will need your engine number from the block, just above your generator, and mebby your vin number as well. There are several running changes to rear main seals during the many years these engines were produced. If you call one of these guys, they will walk you through the problem and get you what you need. Gppd Luck Quote
