- Plenty of theories about how to best install a rope rear main oil seal in the Holden V8 block from the HJ model years through to the last ones produced in the VT Commodores. We've found this to be the most fool proof procedure. A bit long winded perhaps, but if you do it this way your rear main seal will not leak.
Great video, very informative. As a mature age apprentice mechanic and having recently completed a TAFE course on performance engine building, I really appreciate it when experienced guys give freely of their time and knowledge. Thank you!
Thats the easiest and most sensible way of installing a rope type seal I have ever seen. Well done boys. No wonder you guys are the Guru's on the mighty Holden V8
That is excellent. I've had many problems with these over the years. Great to see an explanation of how to do it properly.
COME engines are a top engine building team. My opinion i have cut the back part from the rear main journal off an old worn scrap crank that i use to set the rear rope main seal in place.
10:00 That's very informative thanks! I'm restoring an Opel Rekord P1 1959 1700cc engine and this video helped a lot with understanding these kind of seals. It seemed so hard to install at first because the Opel workshop manual mentions all kinds of special tools needed for installation, but after watching this video I feel more secure with installing the seal!
Cheers!
Great video guys with heaps of excellent info. I am going to be rebuilding my vs clubsport 304 this year sometime. I freshend up the top end last year, vn - vs ported heads. Next a full tear down and off to the shop for the treatment you have shown in this vid. Great vid guys. 🇦🇺
great video guys, thanks very much for taking the time to go thru it in detail!!!!!!!
Thank you for your time, much appreciated.
This is greatly helpful. I have to do the rear main rope seal on an aluminium Rover/Buick 215 ci/3500cc V8 and the Rover people on Facebook pointed me in your direction. I'll have this video on a loop in the shop. My issue is that the crank will be in the engine, kind of. I have the engine upside down on a stand, the rods still bolted to the crank, and a chain block strapped to the crank holding it up out of the main saddles.
greetings from USA ! Thank you this video is really quite helpful. My 71 ford has those little sipes on the crank where the rear main rides so i have to use the rope type, a lip seal wont do the job.
Fantastic informative video - I like the no-bullshit approach in the presentation too. The only thing that is perplexing me... an-oil soaked rope-seal getting put straight onto a surface with sealant; how does that work?

good vid guys, no mess no fuss just info
Awesome guys, much appreciated!
Great video guys
I've always used a rope cut off crank with the size main bearing in place as a dolly and left the tails out of the oil to get a better seal on cap 1 fit instead of 3
Great video guys! Hope i dont have to do this to mine..
I put one in with the eng in car last week... What a pain....
these guys are real craftsmen. you don't see much of this any more. least not here in FL.
i have to agree with previous posts though, this seal design is garbage.
So guys, If I think its set up and once tensioned it feels like the seal is brinnelling on the xhatching(notchy??- fine once rear main removed) removed, is it ok to remove and recheck?? i did notice that I couldve put more moly on the rope and used gasket sealant and has drag but feels ok??
Please explain gm sealant in oil ???
Awesome mantab
Thanks!
i was wondering about that too..
Is it true it has to be clocked quarter inch so it wont leak ?
my VT 5ltr is leaking from the rear , but I REALLY dont want to pull the crank out . I can handle removing the main caps to lift the crank enough to put in the top half of the seal , can I lay the lower half in the cap and use the crank as a mandrel ?
Standard rope or "low drag "??
hi, you say to use a GM sealant. what sealer is that exactly please??
some one said to me you can use a V6 seal dose any one if this is true whats the go
Leaky rear main seal is factory spec on these
Am i blind or did he not have main bearings in when he put the crank in ? Lol
WAAAAA! :-( I have to do this to mine and its only done 30 000 ks since last rebuild :-(
If you gotta holden 5L, your gonna have a black driveway regardless.

That seal design was on and is on almost every V8 from 1949 Oldsmobile ( the first real modern V8) to 1984 Aussie Cleveland's. If that was the problem all would leak, more likely someone used 60 foot pounds on the pan bolts and squished out the cork gasket !
It ain't a Holden if the rear main isn't leaking.
What a pain in the arse
And I thought teflon seals sucked
What a shit of a design rear main seal. I'm glade they don't use this design anymore
yeah back in the early 1980s the EPA and CAFE got together and proposed a kicked in the balls to any fucking engineer who spoke or thought about it...
