I have had my 340 out of the car for several months now while waiting for the machine shop to finish the bottom end rebuild. As soon as I pulled the engine out, I supported the converter with a closed end wrench bolted onto the housing at approximately the 10:00 position on the housing. The wrench was snug up against the converter and has been sitting like that for several months. I am now anticipating that the block will be back in about eight weeks so and I can start the reassembly process. But I was wondering if the front seal on the trans (727) may get damaged by supporting the converter all this time.
Anyone have any issues with the front seal leaking after supporting the converter like mentioned? Should I replace that seal just in case?
Thank you.
