The crank shaft on the rear of my engine has a groove from the old seal. Has any one here ever used one of these? They are about twice the cost of a OEM seal at $28. Is it worth the extra cost? Do they work?

I've used one before, and as long as it is properly installed it's great.-Greg

I've never used one on the rear main end of the crank but I've used tons of them on harmonic balancers and they work great. 2 of my personal vehicles with big block 460's have them installed on the balancers and I've installed them on many other makes and models with the "seal groove". I always apply a small amount of loctite to the inside before I drive them on. Prolly doesn't need it...but it makes me feel better.
