School Me! Rope Style Oil Seal

Lotta folks seem to have zero actual experience with rope seals....
Yes they are more work to install, the actual reason auto makers quit using ropes seals was more about speed of building an engine assemble than a better solution...

Rope seals tend to weep a little oil but it's very rare to have one actually pour out oil... Even with 100K miles they rarely truly leak... Rubber lip seals often weep too though some actually stay dry (Pretty rare) But when a lip seal goes it's common to have it pouring oil...

Yes the modern interpretation of a rope seal isn't as good as the original rope seals were.... Originals had asbestos in the seal, modern ones are graphite embedded...

I watched a few minutes of the video, it seems to cover the basics....
