I seem to recall that the reverse rotation cranks have the angled "scratches" on the rear main seal surface sloped the opposite way. So instead of tending to pull oil back into the engine, the tendency will be to pump it out.

Ah yes... I don't know why I thought reverse rotation. I suppose I was thinking of another post.

Does the 88 engine have a one peice rear main seal? If so, there is an oil slinger on the rear journal will have to be machined off of the 74 crank to be used in the 88 block.
