[V8] Rear Main Seal

[David Head]

You are talking about the seal that goes around the periphery of the 
plate, right? Take the paper off when you install the plate. The plastic 
cap that comes with the assembly aligns and properly installs the double 
lip seal on the crank.

Is this how all rear main seals are?  I would feel a lot better if it was a regular spring loaded rubber type seal.  Do any after market companies make a regular RMS for our car...BTDTs?  Not that I don't totally trust those German engineers:)
