| I have a 77 ski nautique with the 351 Windsor the motor was replaced and we pulled it to change the oil pan and discovered the rear main twisted. I am trying to replace it but it seams that it's been discontinued everywhere I looked does anyone know where I can find one? |

| yes I tried skidim they don't sell it they gave me a felpro number that has been discontinued. I'm not fully sure of the year of the block I just know it's early 80s with a 2 piece seal |

| The 2-piece seal is not directional. A decent auto parts store should be able to get you one. |

| Skidim had the left hand rotation 2 piece and they told me that it wouldn't work I either needed a lh or to find a non directional one |

| I had the same problem with the front seal, they only make left hand or non directional seals. The non directional will work because the wick lines pull the oil back to the motor. As long as you don't one for the opposite direction your good. |

+1 - skidim would be correct if it was a one piece seal - but the two piece seals were just the same seals in different packages ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |
