I am rebuilding my 440 so Far the only
question I have left is about the crankshaft
see the pick for a LH crank
The Machine shop told me to remove them
I have not pulled the rear main seal yet
but does the Pic look like the right Serrations |

Forget the Serrations. Most cranks have them
Use A rope seal. I have taken a couple stardard rotation cranks made them reveres.
Your crank is for a reverse rotation. It would guide the oil back to the engine. |

Crank.... Facing the Flange Serations will
Pull Oil in Rotating LH and Push oil Out going
RH .. I will remove them as recommended by the
machine shop ..A rope seal is the best seal to use
from what I have been told ? is this correct ?

I doubt it. Wish I could be of more help here. but I've never messed with 440s.
You might ask the folks at slantsix.com. (Don't be mislead by the "slant six"; they cover all types of Mopars.)

Is LH std or reverse rotation?
The crank in the pic looks like std rotation, not reverse.
Here's a pic of std rotation crank knurling.

The rope seal is best if you have a crank with the correct knurling.
If the knurling area is ground away and polished, the neoprene seals work best. Since the former knurled area now has a smaller OD, the seal retainer parting line surface may need to be ground down a few thou.
BTW, aftermarket cranks do not have knurling, they can be run LH or RH with neoprene seals and without the worry of the seal area being undersize. |

George, LH rotation (viewed from the flywheel side) is Standard Rotation...... same as if it were in a car/truck!
See this: http://www.ebasicpower.com/faq/rotate.htm
This crank would appear to be correct for Std rotation.
Remember that some engine rear main lip seals are directional as well. |
