Rear main felt oil seals

[Steve Bryant]

On an early coil engine with a 1 1/8 crank is there a recommended method for installing the rear main felt seal to keep oil loss to a minimum once installed?

Any improvements that can be done to make a felt seal work the best that can be had with this type of seal?

* I know this has been discussed before, but I thought I would ask after a frustrating search in the archives.
Cheers,
