I know a guy who can change a rope seal without pulling the crack out. I think he's at Rob Penman Motorsport Henderson (used to be in Glendene/Span Farm)

Are you sure its a rope seal! if its an injected 304 it will be a rubber/neoprene seal! chev engines went away from the rope type seal in the early to mid 60's i think.so im pretty sure yours will be a rubber one! Gav
