These guys have rope seals available in bulk and of a material superior to anything available in any other gasket kit. I will absolutely not use the rope seals in the felpro kit. They are complete junk and will be a leaker, in my opinion. Thank you have a great day.
I'm curious, did you have a bad experience with the Felpro rear main seal kit for the GMC V6?
