Default Re: No Gaskets?

Some of these beliefs are kind of like rumors, they get passed along and shared these stories change and the credibility if any is completely lost. I think they probably are confusing the rear main seal with the no gasket story. The Model A and Model T don't have a rear main seal just a slinger.
On an another note, I always thought it was odd that Henry ford used a rope seal for the front of the crankshaft but never used a rope seal for the rear of the crankshaft!!!
