Rear Main Seal - To replace or not...

[Roverguy]

Tnks, I'll give that a try. That's what i was thinking

 

Guess I'll get some RTV with the pointed tip and put some between the pan and block before I button it down.

 

Wish me luck.

Oval’ing the pin holes defeats the purpose of the pins, alignment.

Update.

 

Went to Napa to pick up some gasket cement.

 

Talking to the owner about what a PITA it was.

 

He suggested using a clear plastic report cover shaped like a funnel with oil on it.

 

Here's what it looks like in action.

 

The cover and seal went on almost by had and a slight tap with a small hammer.

 

After installing you gently pull the cover out in a circular motion and you're all set!

Oh, and my helpers ?
