170 6cyl rear main seal questioin

hi, do you know if they make a rubber type rear main seal ( to replace the
rope type ) for the ford 170 6cyl engine as used in the xp falcon (
australia ) ?
thanks,
mark krawczuk

There used to be a kit for that. Not sure if it is still available.

You have to loosen the main caps and take of the rear one, then use the tool from the kit that screws into the seal to pull out the half on the top, then the tool for installing the one on the top is like the old Chinese finger toy that as you pull your fingers away from each other tightens on them.

ive rebuilt 170,s and the napa gasket kit had a rubber seal in it,
probably avaiable seperately
