Engine: Rear main oil seal

[Brian]

I'm looking for feedback: has anyone used the "new" design seals being offered by the various expert suppliers, like CASCO and Larry's?

With the engine on the bench, can I expect satisfactory "standard" seal performance, installed by a qualified rebuilder, or should I go with the newer styles?

I am confident in the quality of the rebuilder, w/r/t making sure all of the other finer details are taken care of.

By all means, try the newest item available. They haven't been on the market that long but; anything has to be better than what we have been using.
