stovebolt newbie 'Bolter S Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 11 Porterville, CA, USA	Installed the rope rear main seal on my 1955 chevy 235 engine. Pretty sure we did it correctly.... but can't spin the crank and we hadn't torqued the caps yet. Is this OK? Does the rope wear in? A little confused. Maybe I got the wrong rope seal. Can someone identify the correct rope? Please help Last edited by stovebolt newbie; 04/23/2022 12:15 AM. Miguel A Ruelas
