Rear Main Gasket Set for Engine Repair
The Fel-Pro BS40609 Rear Main Gasket Set is a new engine tool designed for sealing the rear main bearing area during rebuilds or leak repairs. It suits professional technicians and experienced DIY mechanics working on compatible engines. Buyers who need a full overhaul kit with pistons or bearings should look elsewhere because this set only addresses the rear main seal.
Transparent Gasket Material and Direct Shipment
The gaskets come in a transparent colour and ship directly from the manufacturer, so they arrive in original packaging without third-party handling. Installation follows standard rear-main procedures; the main risk is damaging the soft material if the crankshaft surface is rough or the block is not cleaned thoroughly. Orders of seventy-five dollars or more qualify for free shipping from the supplier.
Verify Engine Compatibility Before Ordering
Confirm that your engine matches the BS40609 application listing because the set is model-specific and no universal fit is claimed. Check the crankshaft rear journal for scoring and ensure the block mating surface is flat and free of old sealant. The manufacturer first listed this part on 10 January 2024, so cross-reference that date with any service bulletins for your engine family.
