We’ll I got my first oil leak
LPOP regulator
Front main seal Leak?
Top of the LPOP cover?
well got a few drips of oil on my driveway. Looks like it’s been kinda wet on the LPOP cover. I’m guessing that new front main seal is the culprit. Only lasted 5000 miles lol.

I don’t remember but I used a tool on the rear. I may have hammered it in. Probably need to just replace it with a new one and use the tool to press it instead of hammering it to death. I think I have a new one laying around. Live n learn

I think it was part of the front cover gasket kit. I believe it was a Mahle kit. Guess I’ll try again with a verified OEM seal and the actual driver

Yeah, we could do that. Not sure the best shipping price these days, but as you know for the brackets, I usually send USPS Priority. I know it won't fit in one of the small boxes, but the next step up. Probably with insurance, around $22 each way.

Is the Felpro a good front seal? Or should I use motorcraft?
I used felpro head gaskets, rear seal, rear cover, HPOP cover, rocker box seal, valve cover seal, bed plate seal, and oil pan seal. Mahle front cover kit which includes the front main.

I honestly don't think it's the gasket manufacturer's fault. I have never had any problems with FelPro products.
Honestly though, with the exception of head- and exhaust manifold gaskets, I always try to use Ford gaskets.

I’ve used Motorcraft and National. National was incorporated into Federal-Mogul, like us, and was the OE supplier to International for the front and rear seals on this engine.
I was only noting that the seal was not factory, not saying it was inferior. I have no judgement.
