Years ago I bought a silicone rear main seal from HO Racing Specialties. I guess they have gone by the wayside and I was wondering if there is anybody that still sells them. If any of you have an old HO book they were listed under the part # GK92 for the 3.25" journal. If they are no longer available what kind do all of you use or am I forced to use the rope seal? Thanks for any suggestions.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Dennis B

Hey W.D. I sure appreciate the info. I didn't think they were still open. I guess it's a small world. I checked out your profile and we both drive trucks and both have back halved 64 GTO's. I was looking for the picture? Dennis B

The H-O seal is a Caddy seal and is marginally effective. BOP is making a new seal specifically for the Pontiac. Unfortunately we started with the 3" main which we will be shipping next week. The 3 1/4 will be awhile yet. Here are a couple of links to the seal and a testimonial of one of our prototype testers. http://www.bopengineering.com/pontiac_acc4.htm http://www.krepower.com/newpro1.htm

Wade and WD. thanks for the info on the main seals. I thought HO. went out of business. I see Kens add in HPP from time to time.
Wade. I needed the seal yesterday if you know what I mean. How long before it is avaliable for the large journals. I can waite a little longer as long as it's tomorrow HA. Let me know. One more Question. I have BME Alum rods and they have been torqued twice, one to check clearences and one to install them. How many times can they be torqued down before I should get new bolts? The motor only has minimal running time on it. Seeeeeee Ya
