Default Rope vs Rubber

If you have a rope crank, the rubber seal will weep a little. The rope crank has small slashes(couldn't think of any other way to describe it) that help drive any seepage back into the block.....There is a rope crank seal installation kit that you can buy at NAPA....I have never replaced mine but I do know that I have a rubber seal and a rope crank...It will leak a smal amount ....enough to annoy the heck out of you but not enough to get on your back and replace it....good luck!!!
