I've replaced the rear seal, over a leaking oil sending unit.

Re: Blankety-Blank Rear Seal!!!!
I remember that, it was a Clifford that was warped or something.
The tightening sequence for covers with holes around the outside is to start
in the center and work in a circle towards the ends. But, if the cover is
warped, this will almost guarantee that it leaks. The better approach would
be to tighten the cover at the rear of the motor first, then work back and
forth towards the front. This way, if there is a warp, it produces a gap at
the high end of the motor, not the low end.
When installing the valve cover, one should place it on a flat surface and
see it it can be rocked from end to end. Press one end down, and see if the
other end rises off of the surface. If so, then it would be best to get a
new cover, or tighten it down by starting at the rear of the motor so the
poor seal is at the highest point on the motor instead of the lowest.
