Has anyone tried the Best Kevlar rope seal? I can't seem to get a regular seal to stay in my engine.  I have been in the process of having this engine built for about the last three years, and to be quite honest, I am getting tired of it. It is a 292 bored 80 over with a 312 crank machined to fit.  The first time it was put together the head bolts were improperly installed and it filled with water.  Got that problem resolved and now I can't keep the rear main seal form leaking. Recently put in the second one and shortly thereafter it started leaking.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
