Can anyone tell me if the 2 piece rubber rear main seal from a 92-03 Dodge 318(5.2)  BS40161 fits the same as the Dodge seal#BS 40245 in the 262 block?
The 402454 needs the tap cut off but the 40181 has no tabs to cut off.
Thanks

    FYI
    I sent you a message.
    Mopar (may) have changed Journal Size after1980. (BS40245 Pkg says to 1980) Suggest use the Fel Pro BS40245 then Snip the 'Ear's tightly so flush & put a Dab of Blk RTV each side. Or Buy a Neoprene Seal from Randy Maas or Dale Cooper.

    I could not find past posts that says how much to cut off. I bought my seals from Dale Cooper. Stopped rear main leak. Still have to change seal in other engine that leaks very much.
