Rear main seal

[Peter Schulz]

Bernie:

I'm going to call you on this one...

I can understand that the seal restorer can work 
on the fiber and cardboard type seals, but the 
front and rear crank and cam seals are rubber with a spring.....

Is the seal restorer also supposed to act as a 
treatment for rubber/vinyl seals?
