The garage that services my classic cars told me that changing the rear main seal often helps only for a short time due to the missing asbestos...
Olli wrong i been using these new rope seals for years without any leaks. Its all about proper installation. x2

I don't personally know about rope v. other materials but non-rope version is available and some pretty good folks like them. Viton makes a 2 piece and a 1 piece. Some other very good Pontiac folks like the graphite and teflon "new" rope seal. I have heard good and bad things about both. I think, as bigchief said if it's installed correctly either one will probably work.

I'm saying, if installed correctly the old ones were fine. The new seals are even better.
