What Goes Between Rear Main Seal and Flywheel?, Felt Washer and Sealing Ring Locations Options

[motorvated]

My engine came with the flywheel detached so I'm not sure what goes where. Haynes manual mentions a felt washer and the exploded view from Autoatlanta shows two "sealing rings". My flywheel has a pilot bearing and my gasket kit has a new plate that goes on the outboard side of the flywheel under the five bolts. After installing the correct crankshaft shims and the new rear main seal, what goes between it and the flywheel and how do they fit? If the felt washer is one of the two "sealing rings" depicted in the exploded view, where/how is it fitted and is it saturated with oil first or left dry. Is the other "sealing ring" an o-ring and where/how is it fitted. Thanks.

Use grease on the pilot bearing, just a small dab. A very thin coat of hi-temp grease on the input shaft will lube the felt seal. You want to use the grease sparingly as not to contaminate the friction surface, just a thin film.
