rallyace Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 This probably has been answered before but I could not find a definitive answer. I have a block from a P23 (218 CI). It had a rope style seal when I did the disassembly. Can I use the two piece neoprene seal on it? The main cap and block are tapped for the existing retainers. The crank looks good where there would be contact between the seal and the crank. Thanks, Mike. Quote
thebeebe5 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 When I looked at using one a few months ago IIRC it appeared that some machine work would be required. Ultimately decided not to use it and went with a new style rope seal by best gasket, available through Egge. Quote
Jerry Roberts Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 I can second that opinion . When my engine was rebuilt , the shop did some machine work to use the rubber seal instead of the rope seal . I have no further details . Quote
dpollo Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 I have used any and all of the seals offered for these engines. There is one.... it may be the P23... which requires a hole to be blocked off when using the neoprene seal which does not bolt on. Quote
sser2 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Old style rope seal is the way to go, and they are often sold on eBay. Quote
