Re: rope seal help needed

[Jim <jimfmd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Remove the crankshaft.

I am not sure on the 440, I have never rebuilt a Mopar motor, but some Ford 
motors have a pin to stop the seal from spinning.

It has been a while since i have rebuilt a Ford motor, thus my lask of 
memory, and of course old age....
