engine help

[70 RAG TOP]

I am trying to put the rear main seal in my rebuilt engine and noticed that the journal (where the rear seal  contacts the crank)has some minute pitting.  My manual said that the journal should have a diagonal knurled surface pattern.  It doesn't.  I am beginning to doubt the  quality of the machinist's abillities.(remember, I am the one that had the new crank thrust bearing with the maximum end play(.010).  Thanks for  your help

You can use a rope seal, or since the engine is out and you have the other mis hap, you can as of now get another crank
