I’d use it. Come on Chuck, you’re the director of the Pantera Research Institute. What better person to say “yes, well test this.”

Dear Asa,
It does not need machining. It is a direct replacement. I am in the middle of a 351C rebuild and I hesitate in gain some confirmation from any actual users. It looks more robust than the typical two-piece RMS.
Thanks. Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

No experience with that one but I have heard one piece seals have been working well for Cleveland engines when the block is machined.
-THIS- seal however does not need machining. It uses the same seal groove as the original. I like that idea better than machining the rear of the block.
I would use that seal if I were in the middle of a 351C build without hesitation

Dear Forum,
TMeyer offers a one-piece rear main seal. He is very reputable and it looks good. Endorsed (?) by Kaase, too.

Does anyone have actual experience with it? Any second hand reports?
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
