Hi,
I remember a rope seal in a 1950 or so Chevy 6 that I rebuilt a loong time ago.
It was like clothesline impregnated with carbon or something. You had to
tap it into the slot then trim the ends.
I wonder if it is available somewhere? and might work?

The engine number is: 16109565 and the VIN:16661747. (I have been

The rear seal arrangement is a 2 piece aluminium housing with 2 piece
rope seal inlaid into a groove in the housing halves. (It
replaces cast iron oil retainer cap that is fitted to the earlier 1950
engine I have.) The crank diameter at this point is
2.331". I believe this a modification not a standard
