rear main seal #2 want to get this one right

hey everybody

im about to install another rear main seal this weekend. i did the last one about a year ago, and i dont know if it was a junk advance auto seal, or my fault, but it started leaking a few months after installation.

this time i got a better seal from napa, and im hoping to not have to mess with it again.

anyways, just want to make sure ive got it all right. torque specs, where RTV goes. ive heard put soap on the seal to make it easier to install, but would soap dry it out eventually...how about oil to both sides of the seal to slip it in?

thanks

nobody?

Soak the seal in oil while you take everything off. Use anearobic sealer instead of rtv. Make sure EVERYTHING is clean before you put any rtv or sealer because it won't seal.

also make sure the main caps are dry of oil or the RTV wont set right....use felpro gaksets/seals.

Also, I think there is a new type of seal that is double lipped. You might want to check into that too. I think it's fel-pro.
