I read somewhere that the rear main cap won't come off without splitting the engine from the transmission. Is this true? No way around it? Thanx in advance. RD [Reply]   [No Email]

Have to take those three or four bolts out between flywheel and rear seal housing. [Reply]  [No Email]

I think I'll wait and put the new rear main and seal in when I put the clutch in, by the spring time. Thanx. BTW, the mains looked good, but since I'm putting new rings and rod bearings in it, I'm replacing them too. Lots of people told me to put the old bearings back in, but I'm not gonna do that.
