well i guess i'm just going to move on....and just assume that everyone uses the rope seal.

I can't say that I enjoyed doing it with the engine in the car, especially the upper half - but I've installed a pretty good number of the graphited rope rear main seals over the years with no problems - properly installed they'll last as long as an engine rebuild. Less experience with the rope front seal on the V8s, but again no problems.
