So finally got some free time coming up and also have a replacement vehicle to run around in, so finally can do the rope seal in the back of my 216 motor, it leaks super bad.

Going the path of engine removal to do the job.

I have never stripped a stovebolt down before but I am an ex aircraft mechanic, making an assumption just need a sump gasket with the rear rope seal or is there possibly something else that needs replacing at the same time

Any advice is appreciated

Steve
