MF35 Main Bearing Packing

[grugh]

I have a mf35 with the z-134 engine and i am having trouble installing the packing in the rear main bearing cap. The cap has a grove in it for the packing but the block does not. Does anybody know of a way to install this? The packing i bought from Stiener looks to be too big, the packing I got from Massey is also too big and is curved as if it should be installed around the crankshaft. Gene

Well if you have never done this your going to have a bad day and bad results = leak. Their is a seal in the block and you useally have to drop the crank down to get it in.I think you would be better off to have someone help you that has done this before,

The engine is on the engine stand at the moment.
