rear main seal red motor

[red_devil]

Hi guys can anyone tell if the original style rear main seal for a 179 red is available and possibly where to buy them.
I had a brain surgeon build my motor now it all has to come out again to fix the oil leak.
Cheers

All red motors have a two piece seal, which means that the crank will have to be removed, your 179 should have a rope type seal, later engines had a neoprene type two piece seal.  As you will be taking the bottom end apart the gasket kits for these usually come with the oil seal!  I haven't had any trouble getting seals or gaskets for them, got my last kit form Rare Spares.

Thanks for the advice appreciated.
