GASKETS SEALS

Modern neoprene type seals for your Buick engine!
Installation of these modern seals is much easier than the old
style rope type seals, ensuring a positive seal every time. Front
seals are housed in a steel retainer and are pressed into the
timing cover. Rear seals are a two piece design and are a
direct replacement for rope seals. All of our rear main seals are
No Trim, Direct Fit, including our 400-430-455 piece, other
suppliers offer a more difficult to use cut to fit seal. The use of
neoprene seals will also free horsepower because the drag on
the crank is only a fraction of that compared to rope seals.
