I am about to replace the two part rear main seal on this 75 - 454. The instructions have one point that I don't understand and hope someone can give me some advice. The step in the instructions I don't understand is:
Apply a thin, even coat of anaerobic sealer to the ends of the seal and also the block surface adjoining the seal where the bearing cap touches it. Don't get any sealer on the bearing face, crankshaft journal, seal ends or seal lips.
1)Whattype of sealer are they talking about? ?anaerobic?
2) They use the term seal end in both sentences but I think they are two different parts of the seal. Can someone clarify that point?
