390 rear oil seal problem & bent push rod
By Bruce Geister - 09/29/2002 5:34:42 PM; IP 65.56.56.212
Any help would be appeciated on this. I have a 390 that has been rebuilt and driven for maybe 500 miles and then the rear main started to leak. It pumps oil so that a steady stream runs from the rear of the engine. The seal has been replaced by myself and put in properly but the leak is the same. What do I need to do to stop the leak?

Also...when the engine was idleing a push rod bent! What may the problem be there? It has a new cam and lifters with very few miles and never overreved.

This thread, so far...
