Repco? But I'm betting you'll have to buy a bottom end gasket set to get the rear main seal.

felpro do a conversion rear main for some motors ( pretty sure they do holden 6's)to convert from rope to neoprene and they are supposed to be able to be changed without crankshaft removal. I have done a few without dramas but its very hard to get the rope seals out..my local engine guy gets em for me , i'll try to find out who supplies them.

f you want to replace the rope seal with a rubber type seal you need to get the
"FEL-PRO BS40613 rear main bearing set".
Here in Vic Bursons usually have one somewhere,it may take a few days to get it to the local outlet but they usually are pretty quick. Don't forget when using this seal you may have to trim (grind or linish cos of the steel insert)) the ends to get a perfect fit. Also glue the ends before closing up. dont get any glue on the sealing surface of the seal.If installed properly they work really well, the rear seal problems generally go away for a lonnnnng time.
