Charlie Christian Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Will that item 3835774r work on a 1953 235 Chevy? It appears to say it might not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Be best to go back with the rope type seal. Groove is not machined for 2pc rubber seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Have a rope seal in my 235 for 22 years now. No Leaks. Tough to improve on that................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Christian Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks Bob. You have to pull the motor to replace with a one piece rope seal or just drop the oil pan a couple of inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
