RE: 390 Mustang - Rear main seal leaking.

Although Kevin is right and you should fully investigate the cause of the leak, the answer to your question is "No". Although others have claimed to do it, I cannot install the seal into the block with the crank in the way. I've tried oiling up the seal and sliding it around, but it just won't make it...not by a long shot. And that was on an engine stand when I had the crank mostly bolted in and suddenly noticed I had forgotten the rear seal. Plus, it's not easy to work with the required silicon and those tempermental side seals and nails while under the car.

This thread, so far...
