Hi all.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to tell if my 302 rear main seal is rope type or a conventional seal type by engine number?
Thanks

Not sure about using engine number but a rope main
has a little pin in the seat that holds it in.
Switch to a one piece etc and dont remove the pin....hey presto oil leak!
What year is your engine?

Not sure of the engine year as it is a crate motor. Hoping that i might be able to tell what type or rear main it has by engine number or a distinguishing feature of the block etc.

I think the only way is a tear down....not that you want to do that.
Actually why do you ask?
Other than the pin issue I raised previously I doubt it would make any difference.
