The one on the engine?
Yup, Though easier done with a Lift.......
Doesn't matter to me. I NEVER drink Starbucks
Tim priming the pump would be the rear crank seal no pressure on the pan gasket then. Be nice to have all the info Sparky!
Exactly!! sorry....
I had to give the problem some thought, when it started. Then I remembered the drip after priming......after resealing the pan, it still had a small drip .....Well, pan is off now..... onward...
Good thing, not a trace of metal in the pan
No the one in the oven.
So what’s it made of then? Plastic?Good thing, not a trace of metal in the pan
All I know is Tim has me worried that I need to check my Rear main seal BEFORE I put it in the car. Hmmm engine test stand build ?
THIS is why I wanted to run it on a Dyno before install! One of the reasons...
Well, that was easy. Removed oil pump, removed rear main cap, Seal was cut! Nicked. or just defective... So just replace the easy part, the part in the cap!! Picture does not show anything..... But I am still going to replace the entire seal....on second thought....
OK, "extra" steel in the pan.....So what’s it made of then? Plastic?
Do it right this time
Road test is a success!
Steering box definitely has less play, think i can adjust it a little more. So driving at 60 mph with one hand is do-able,and at 2,000 RPM’s i might add
and i thought timing was a little advanced,i set it (roughly) when i was battling with the carb and never went back to recheck. So now with the taller gear, 2nd pings a little when i stand on it.

I did not assemble the short block. OR install the rear main seal. BUT it was easy to replace. Removed spark plugs, pushed the top seal around as I turned the crank by the front bolt, and rolled it out. Installing the opposite. All done. Oiled the seal to get it to slide in easier...Do it right this time

Let’s play where is Sparky in this photo... circa 2004
Using an old style timing chain cover, on magnum. Have to use a magnum balancer, so timing marks are not in the right place. So just use a timing tape, right? All the reviews say the same thing, they come off at speed. Guess what? They are correct! Came off! POS...Road test is a success!
