    How are Victor Reinz Crank Seals?

    I built up my 2.8 bottom end with a V-R lower gasket set and I'm a little concerned about the crank seals. They just look a little cheaper than the OE ones, and I really don't want to have to go back in and replace one (especially the rear).

    Anyone used the V-R crank seals? Any problems? Thanks

      OK, thanks. I'll go get a new-style rear seal from BMW.
