MF-135 gasket set question

[old_ky_man]

How good are the rear main rope seals in the YT engine gasket set? Working on a MF 135, 203cid, 4 cylinder, Perkins. In the process of putting it back together. I have tried BEST GASKET but they do not have a rear main seal to fit the tractor. When I look at the YT gasket set I question the quality of the seal.

I've not found much difference in quality of rope seals.

The quality is more in the installation.

It's a time consuming and exacting process to get one right.

A 135 should have a 152 cid 3 cylinder engine. The 203 4 cylinder was in the 165.

If you own a MF 135 with a 4 cylinder diesel engine...I would like to see a picture please......you may have a previous owners creation.?
Thanks

Bob..

old_ky_man, before installing the rope seal go to you tube and watch the video on installing rear main seal in a Holden V-8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSQWlnvAIbI&t=609s It is comprehensive.
