They seem to work great I have been putting them on using a front pulley hub (pulley machined off) to hold the seal in alignment while I install the pan and front cover. Saw one that still leaked, think the block was line-bored off-center

Mine has always worked well. 12 years,26K miles. Still original from Skokie antique engines.

40,000 hard miles on mine and no sign of even a weep. I can't see myself ever using a rope seal (never have).
