I have heard, maybe on here, I can't remember, that there is a replacement seal available for the rear main bearing on the MEL so one doesn't have to use the old style rope seal. Does anyone know about this and where one can be found?

Thanks. I looked up the Felpro number you gave me and it is still good and available. My machine shop ordered one and it arrived. Cool and thanks again. Current plans are to put fire into this bad ass blown MEL likely in late January. I have almost all the parts now.
