    Front Seal

    Have not trieed this personally, but I have it on good authority that a Buick 400-455 front seal will work as a modern replacement on any nailhead.

    chicago rawhide might be able to come up with something also. i would think you would have to give them some dimensions to work with, and you would have to work with one of their vendors.

    Timing cover

    I've used the rope front seal and rear seal for the last 20 tears and have never had a problem or a leak with them. If they are carefully installed with the joint at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock position they will work perfectly.

    I have also used these for years with no problems, and they never wear the sealing area like rubber seals do.
