Hey guys so I'm finally in the process of assembling my 440 for my 73 roadrunner. I was in the shop yesterday cleaning things and using plastig age to check my clearances when I noticed the knurling on the crank where the rear main rides. The original crank was cast and was gonna need work anyways so my machinist got me a forged crank instead. I never even noticed until yesterday that it had the knurling. I was already nervous about installing the rear main but now after researching I'm even worse. I already have a felpro gasket set with the black rubber upper and lower seals and the rtv and wet pipe cleaners for the sides. I've read some people like these and some don't but now I'm also reading you have to use rope gaskets on cranks with the knurling. I'm so confused lol I just want to put it together and not have to tear it down again because of leaks.
