Rear main seal and Pistons

I am in the middle of a engine rebuild and could use some advice.
Has anyone had experence with piston modification, as shown on the special
files about notched pistons?
Also , there was alot of "talk" about the rear main seal and several options
as to how to address the problem. One solution I found interesting was from
Ermit Starnes, Washington,U.S.A. His solution "can be installed without
modifications". Does anyone out there have one of these. How does it work?
And how can I get in touch with Ermit Starnes?

Hello Ron,
I rebuilt my engine last winter and I used a combination of the John Seim
and the Blair Engle methods. No major modification and NO rear main leaks
yet. I have 1000 miles on the re-build. Contact John and Blair and get
the info direct from them.
