Default time to fix my jeep

i have a few things worng with my jeep and seen as im got layed off do to no work. i have time now to fix it. i got every thing i need but my rear main seal, when i went to the parts store there was two and singel and double pice. does it matter?

Ask for the double lip seal, the single lip will not last long since your crankshaft will certainly have a groove where the lip sat.

so there is no after market for the rear seal, what about the valve gasket im shear there is a better one the cork and does not cost a arm and a leg

of course there is an aftermarket seal, there you go:

EDIT: if the link doesn't work copy it on your browser bar or go on ebay and search: "jeep rear main seal"
