Got the gasket sorted out no holes for the rubber caps.
Mine has a tight packed fabric or some sort of rope for the rear bearing cap packing vertical sections.
Anyway got everything flat and clean and put the gasket on with Permatex on pan side only, then gently put the fixing back in.
Left over night and checked fixings still hand tight, oil in and start up.
Run the engine and taken on the drive way, still okay.
See how it goes over the next days, but no runs out yet. _________________ 1952 M38
The original rear seal for the M38 engine is a rope seal.
Careful here. Both the old style rope seal kit and the new styled pre-formed seal kit used the same two pieces of straight rubber for the vertical seal on the lower rear main cap.
