Default Rear main seal

Hey all,


I was wondering about your experience with rear main seals: I ordered a Fel-pro kit from Advanced auto. The picture online shows it includes the two little 3 inch rubber stick like seals that sit vertically in the rear main cap. What is in the kit is just the two rope seals that go around the shaft and not the little vertical ones.
When I removed the rear main cap it was rather tight. The two vertical seals seemed pretty rigid and hard but I'm not sure what they would feel like new. Obviously I would like to replace them.

Has anybody found a source for these vertical seals?

Anybody just reuse the old ones? +/- Coating them with RVT
