Re: v-12 project begins
 

If you go to Orielly's you need to find someone that knows how to use a book. The one I go to has a book on industrial engines. The 702 is listed in there. Bob

Re: v-12 project begins
 

orielys is where i got the rope seal. it is the only seal they list. i believe the seals are all the same for v-6 and v-12 engines. i will try looking for a complete set for a 305 and see what it contains

Re: v-12 project begins
 

FEL-Pro BS40048 is probably the only thing you can get for seal. Let us know if you find something else.

I think it's time we get Lewis Matkin to respond, he worked a NAPA parts store so he would know the correct part number. Don't give up yet:pullinghairout: someone out there must have the Main Seal in Neoprene, after all GMC themselves used Neoprene main seals the last 2-3 years of V6 production.

Re: v-12 project begins
 

The number felpro BS-40048 works for Autozone, Rockauto, Summit
and Amazon as a rubber gasket Thats what it describes anyway. That was
the number on one of my old kits. My two cents.....

Re: v-12 project begins
 

i have got 2 of the felpro bs40048 the only part that is rubber is the round plugs for the bolts. the seals are rope. set dose not even come with the straight seals that go between the block and main cap, comes with 2 short pipe cleaners and a small tube of silicone sealer. i ordered a second one because i thought it was missing parts.

Re: v-12 project begins
 

i ordered a complete gasket set for a 305. the picture shows a lip seal, but so did the the 40048 set. hopefully be here tomorrow.

Re: v-12 project begins
 

good news, complete gasket set came with neoprene rear main seal :upyes::ahhhh: package has a number on it, p40048-1. i tried that number with napa, orielys, and fel pro website, no matches. my orielys rep is going to call there supplier, and try to find out what is up.

Re: v-12 project begins
 

bad news fel pro says they do not make this seal anymore, rope seal only available:banghead:

Re: v-12 project begins
 

:pullinghairout: I had a feeling I should have stocked up on those neoprene seals when they were still available.:lolsmack2::banghead:
