[Fot] Rear main felt gasket

[Greg And Alison Blake]

I do the same but have always tried to clean up the sealant that gets into the
inside of the block but  I am never very successful at cleaning it all up.
What do y'all do about the sealant that gets down (actually it is up) there
inside the block near the rear main bearing?
