I'm putting the y Block back together and the timing cover seal that came with the gasket set is for a standard rotation engine. Does anyone know what the part number for a reverse rotation seal would be? Sorry if this has been covered somewhere, I've searched and can't come up with anything.. |

It's been so long since I have rebuilt my 312 I can't remember where I got it???....I think most of my parts I got from John Mummert www.ford-y-block.com. but I can't remember if at that time anything was available for RR. I believe Billy Sutton has been the most recent one to put one on and I think he may have found one that would work for RR??....but not 100% sure?

Ethan,
What's the # on the old seal? Are you sure the seal is directional? Is there directional knurling on the shaft? |

The numbers on the old seal are unintelligible. The new seal is directional but is the wrong od and id on further inspection. After measuring the cover it looks like I need a 2.51od x1.72id seal which is available, it just doesn't have the lip that would keep dirt from coming in.. The seal isn't directional either, but is coming up as a timing cover seal.. I reckon that's my best shot?
Oh, and there isn't any knurling on the shaft. |

Ethan,
I'd sure go with the seal you measured for and not worry about dirt. I don't think you'll be driving the boat on dusty dirty roads. |
