I have a 600 1956 Ford. Posting in 9n 2n 8n because it is about the closest form I can find. I did an engine rebuild due the rear main seal leaking. I tried to put in the rope seal in the front and the rubber in the rear. I ended up pulling the rope out due to it leaking and the rubber seal does well until I rev up the engine and it warms up.
So my question is. do you need the rope seal if you run the rubber? I used the seals that came with the engine kit. I notice they also sell a standalone kit that looks different. Is it worth spending the extra and money?
If I need the rope seal and the rubber. What is the best method to get it pushed in. I would guess it should sit no higher in the journal than the rubber seal?
