For whatever engine, old trick.  When replacing the rear seal do NOT install the upper and lower sections flush with the block and pan.  Rotate a little [5 degrees?] on both upper and lower seal halves, apply a very small dab of permatex on the exposed seal then go ahead and bolt up.  This prevents a "natural" leak path along the block to pan interface.  Totally guaranteed to be leak proof?  Of course not but you have taken as smart a step towards insuring a long life non leak installation as you can.

Thank you, I've replaced quite a few items in this truck. My 520, is a 1967 1300 j-13. Just incase, is the rear seal a rope or a gar-lock .
