Thanks for the info on seals. Rockauto has that SKF 199 for $25.79. Pretty much inline with the Red "premium" fel-pro seal.

When the blue Fel-pro seal was leaking in my new Engine build, everyone said the red fel-pro seal was the one to use. Oddly, it actually worked for me - no leaks with the flouroelastomer Fel-pro seal.

I might consider picking up a SKF seal, as I expect eventually everyone else will just source seals from Fel-pro and we'll have no choice. Might be nice to get a good one while I can and keep it around for future builds.

Oh...and I agree... silicone sucks for stuff like main caps!
