Hot Rods Olds main seal

What's the best type of main brg seal for a 49 303 ?

the seals supplied in the newer gasket sets use a government mandated non graphite/asbestos seal that is difficult to install and leaks. If you want rope seal get a NOS gasket set made before 1995.

 

Would think you could use a 2 piece rubber seal. I used one in my 54 322 Nailhead, got rid of the new/leaking rope seal, it works great. Russ Martin sells them for Buicks, he also supports vintage Caddy engines, wouldn't hurt to give him a call.

I would contact Tony at Ross Racing Engines, he's the go to guy for most Olds questions. I'm sure he has an answer for you.

I used a two piece from Tony. Doesn't leak.

 

Ok thanks
