Been chasing an oil leak and come to the conclusion that it is the rear main on my new/rebuilt 440. I had the machinist build the bottom end, well he hosed me . The engine is back out on the stand, he didn't use any side strips and only got sealant down 1/3 on the sides. the seals themselves look a little suspicious, rough cuts etc.
So my questions to those who had to go through this mess, can new seal be slid under crank? Will crank have to be lifted?
Any tips are appreciated, I want to do this once and right, Don`t want to spend for the fancy billet retainers if the oem will work fine with care on installation.
