BTW, I rotate mine too.......No leaks......
Yes, YOU MUST BE LUCKY!!!!

Curtis
We do this for a liveing and never had any problems and GM has done niliions of them and they never seem to have any issues with the amout they have done over the years.
I have taken dome big name engines apart and they have not rotated the seal either.
Its hard to beleive you would no more about putting in rear seals then DEI, Roush, Hendricks and RCR and Felpro. Maybe you know something they don't
Interesting as I talk to a shop this morning that does alot performance engines and he got an engine in a while ago for circle track application that always had a small leak and when the guy rotated the seal and set the cap in place it pealed the back of the seal off which was piled up between the cap and the block.
Its pretty hard to use the plastic installation tool with the seal rotated when your setting the cap on.
FWIW he also does not rotate the seal either.
Think about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
