But because of my willingness to try most anything, I do have some GREAT news. I just got done doing the seemingly impossible (to me). I pulled the main caps, cam sprocket and guide, and lifted the crank to get enough room to remove the old rope seal, and install a new one. I decided to take photos and I will do a How-To and post it (maybe on the "other" site as well. It was successful (so far). When I get the engine in the car, I will know for sure and update this thread and the How-To thread as well.

I've been told by an engine builder that these seals (on an OM617) can heat up if they are not firmly in position causing premature main bearing failure...
