Machining

[Michael Charalambous 12]

Hey boys, so last year my rear main seal leaked on my 351c. I replaced the seal and all sweet until now, it has started leaking again. It is a 2 part seal and many people have told me that they are a shit rear main and the better option would be to machine in a full piece rear main seal. Now I understand that the best person to talk to would be the engine machinist but I have one and would like some info before i start asking around so I have and idea what the go is.

So the question I have is what is it called or do I ask for to disassemble the entire engine and machine without taking to much of the block away as I just want to clean it all up? The main bearings are 0.1 so has been machined before but dont want to go to much is there such a thing what I am saying? Also can all 351c blocks machine a full piece seal if not whats the next best thing? 

Finally I am in Sydney, NSW could anyone recommend a machine shop who knows 351c well? as I have never needed a machinist before.

Sorry they are pretty silly questions but doing my reasearh and not coming up with much. Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers.
