Fel Pro makes a seal kit that is two peices (no rope)that could work for you. It comes as a seperate kit. The rear main cap is sealed with two strips that you expand inplace by driving a nail like rod in to each strip.But then again you have to get the pan off to get the mains loose.Sometimes short cuts aren't that short.Any other tasks that you may want to do when it's apart?Now would be the time.
