This exercise might not be foolproof either.  In the only Boston Engine
rebuild which I have seen firsthand, the rear main seal went bye-bye almost
immediately.  Although I guess this can be assigned to the "Shit Happens"
file, it is indeed a rear occurrence for a modern seal, properly installed,
to queef (or should that be kweaf?) out with first use and it is not the
easiest shortfall to correct.
