[QUOTE=lust4speed;4629525]What was the length of time the new seal lasted? The procedure was definitely cost effective for dealerships (and mechanics that were paid flat rate), but the repair only needed to last the remainder of the warranty period. The Pontiac shop manual recommends using a trapezoid shaped tool to tap the seal in another half inch and insert a like amount of rope seal on each side of the seal cavity in the block. I guess it worked, but sure seems temporary.]
Havent had much problem lately,last one I installed laying under the car was in 1998.It sits in the driveway to this day and no leak.All Pontiac rear seals are temp.The one in his engine was no doubt installed on the bench.Couldnt do much worse?
