Re: Rear Engine neoprene main seal?

No Packard prior to 1940 had any type of "rear crankshaft seal" at all, thus you will not find any for sale or any manuals telling you how ti install one. The vehicle in question needs only one thing for the rear slinger to work, the crankshaft must be turning so it slings excess oil in to the return groove.

I would not recommend trying to outthink the engineers from East Grand Boulevard and cram a rope seal into the groove which is not intended for that use.

Old cars even when they were new were not antiseptic like a new Lexus, they coughed, spit and leaked a bit.
