Ok, sounds good. Thank you sir. When I pulled it up in tasca it looked like it was an adjustable one which I dont want.

Thanks again

I just purchased a 1 piece rear main seal today as I have had a leak with lower pan and rear main since i purchased the cxar 4 years ago, just havent had time to fix until now . Anyhow with the instruction ( Fel Pro BS 40644 ) With the plastic sleave and in the instructions a little piece of paper states that Ford Possibly drilled to far when manufacturing and Possible oil leaks may occur , anyhow I see a few have mentioned this however just thought Id post a pic and see if anyone else ha noticed the leaks from the bolts themselves and or not the old seal itself ?? Anyhow Paper States exactly Flywheel Bolts Reinstall Flywheel To crankshaft Note: On Some engines that use a 1 piece rear main bearing Seal a condition may exist where the bolt holes in Crank shaft rear flange have been drilled to deep by the manufacturer. This can result in seepage which may be misdiagnosed as coming from oil pan or rear main seal. To prevent seepage, Coat bolt threads with thread locking sealer, Torque securely to oem specifications. Anyhow Im about to give it a shot myself, Thanks for Letting me join Stangnet by the way !

Some cranks have the bolt holes drilled all the way through. Some don’t.

If you buy new Ford bolts, they come with sealant on the threads. Most folks reuse flywheel bolts so new sealant needs to be applied or your sometimes end up with leaks from the threads.

Some folks loctite the threads, some use sealant. I can’t recall what I used.

I just did this last week although my motor is out of the car. I installed the Fel-Pro crank sleeve.....
Fel-Pro 16250 crankshaft repair sleeve

Then I used Ford Racing's one piece rear main seal.........

As far as the flywheel bolts, I used a bit of this............
Permatex thread sealant

Hopefully, I won't have any RMS leakage problems. Time will tell!

I did the Fel-pro Sleeve and seal along with their (overpriced) install tool. Jury's out on if it stops the leaking as i haven't run the engine yet

I have run the engine since. No leaks yet, but way too early to tell.
