Pinto rear crank seal and sump gasket

Looking at replacing the rear crank seal and sump gasket on a 2.0 pinto engine what are the best make seals and gaskets to use only want to do it once. I have seen the Burton power upgrade sump gasket is this a good option.

I've used the Burtons competition sump gasket on a Xflow, so much better than any other gasket set as its not cork . I reused the sump gasket when I rebuilt the engine several years ago with no leaks. As for the rear main oil seal any quality seal should work as low my as care if s taken when fitting.

It’s so much more about how you fit them not what you fit.
Recently done a Pinto rebuild and fitting the rear crank seal means taking the rear crank bearing cap off, applying some sealant to the mating faces and torquing down, then more sealant before the wedges that come with a sump gasket set are fitted.
I then seal the plastic half moons to the tracks over the front and rear bearing caps followed by a smear of sealant on the block sump gasket face, place the sump gasket on and use the sump to hold it all down while it sets, then the next day remove the sump, smear a thin layer of sealant on that and replace sump.

Another vote for the 'Heavy duty' Burtons sump gasket set, Their oil seals are also very good

With the rear crank seal, If the engine is in bits then remove the rear bearing cap as above, If not take your time and get everything clean before fitting the new one
(you *might* find that there's old sealant everywhere though )
