Engine Sealing
Ford Racing Circle Track engines use a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter cap seal with FRT 6-digit
serial number. Factory built engines are sealed at the factory by 6 seals in 3 locations:
• Oil pan rail – left and right side
• Front cover – 2 on the top left and right of the front cover
• Intake Manifold – one on the drivers side front and one on the passenger side rear

Cap plug seals are a two piece design.
The base is secured by the bolt and
encapsulates the head of the bolt. This
base includes fingers that interlock with
the cap when installed. Any sign of
tampering or removal is easy to detect.
