Can I use the Model A rope seal on a 1911 or pre 18 pan and front cover?

See post below. Learned something new.

I haven't had time to go out and verify but I read the groove for it was smaller in the early cars.

Wont work on cars of mine 1910 and 1912. Too fat.

Thanks , that means it won’t work on my 11’s

I believe the smaller seals are available - try Lang's.

Chaffin's has them also #3012EC.
Craig.

For a long time I use an oilseal for the crankshaft,.and glue them to the engine block and timing cover , with JB weld
And also the normal feld style seal .

Thanks to an Forum user .
