I went to autozone to get a rear main seal, an i think they gave me the wrong one! the computer gave a choice for a 2 lip and a one lip.... the new one is 2 lip. it seems that the stocker is a 1 lip?

 

looks the same to me....

 

you dont see the ridge on the blue one and not on the stocker? Does anybody know anything about this 2 lip, 1 lip business?

 

Huh? thats a 2pc, 1 piece is aaaah 1 pc.

 

No, acording to the auto zone computer there are 2 kinds of 2-piece rear main seals for 85' a 1-lip and a 2-lip kind I dont know what i need, but this new one looks different from the one i took out.

 

Doesn't matter!

Cool a Nintendo, Contra rocks!!!!!

 

i think the guy at the parts counter meant 1 peace or 2 peace?
those two look the same to me

 

yeh... contra is pretty kick a$$

 

I like reds tulips myself, really the 2-lip design seems better.

you'll never beat that game otherwise.

 

sonic was up down left right a b start? =all levels
right?

 

Does this clear things up?

 

yes, that does clear this up

 

My brother can beat it with no extra guys and no continues.... he is a damn wizard

 

There are 1 lip and 2 lip designs. Part of the reason for them is.. if you happen to have a stock 2 lip and it has a bit of ware, the one lip desing is offset from where the major lip on the 2 lip is.

There for it rides on a different part of the crank shaft not in a possible grove worn by the previous seal.

 

They are functionally equivalent.

Don't fret over this slight appearance difference. Different strokes for different folks. There's always more than one design solution. Two paths to the same destination. The OD's, ID's and groove widths are the same, that's what's important. The material type is a lot more important than the detail configuration of the lips.

Go in piece. May the Farce be with you. Live long and prospect.

Etc., etc., etc...

 

well... the fel pro is crap.. there is already a crack in the smaller lip at the end. Im gonna take it back and get somthing else

 

The big, inner lip seals the oil inside the engine. The smaller, outer lip keeps dirt & grim from getting to the inner lip.

The functional usefulness of the outer lip is realatively insignificant.
