| Gasket Shellac |

Yep, that's good stuff. I always change the press-in plugs to threaded, plus I use the shellac....Nope..my engines always seem to have oil dripping off the pan, but dry to the bone above the pan/block line. Good sized leak also. Standard transmission, but no trouble with clutch (no oil on clutch). I think the two pan gaskets (I use a windage tray) just continuously shrink causing leakage, and if I keep tightening the pan bots every so often, eventually, the leak will minimize......it's been a few years now......sooner or later.....LOL.
By the way, even with an FE upside down on an egine stand where everything is easy, I have to remove the crank to get the block half of the rear main seal in. I don't doubt you can do it, but it's tricky. If I had to do it in the car, I think I would try your method, but be prepared to loosen all the main bearing caps and drop the whole rotating assembly about 1/4 to 1/2 inch if things started getting frustrating.
Now back to the Indy 500....... |
