ok So I was told that teflon seals are the way to go for the rear main seal. But the problem is that a teflon seal for my engine is 38 bucks from summit (1997 explorer block). Then they have rubber and Fluoroelastomer for roughly the same price (~18), so which is the better of the two?

I bought my Teflon rear main seal from NAPA for $25. I suggest the Ford Racing A/C eliminator kit, very easy to install and I got it for $40.

I got mine from Autozone, Felpro or something like that is the brand. I think it was like $25 bucks. Don't be cheap on the rear main seals. Get the teflon one.

My advice on rear mains is this. Forget what the part costs and think about how long it will take to replace that part if/when it fails.


I am of the same opinion with oil pumps.
