BOP seal
I'm going to use the BOP one piece rear seal. After some cutting,filing and sanding to get it to fit without buckling and getting the ends to butt-up square it fits good.
My question is, can I use some sort of silicone or adhesive in the groove and or anti-rotation slots to help hold it from turning? The instructions say that nothing is needed but I would feel better if there was something holding it It's the 3 inch main size and has been ground .010. |

A dab of black silicone in each of those half round dimples and half a day of drying time should do the job.

I actually greased the OD of the seal so it would slide into the grove nicely and wouldn't bind when the cap was installed. Put a dab of silicone on the parting line.
I figure if there is enough friction at the crank/seal interface to spin the seal in the block/cap ... then I have much larger problems to worry about. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
