Rear Main Seal / 2.5 Iron Duke (Page 2/2) olejoedad MAY 11, 10:30 AM quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: Joe, we've torn the ENTIRE car apart. We took 100s of pictures. Every screw was bagged and labelled, and lots of pictures... and tons of manuals, but this one thing wasn't covered in any of the manuals. ... I guess we DO technically have a video of it... But shoot you guys are a tough crowd. I appreciate that you guys think so highly of me that you expect me to know these answers already... but I took a 14 year hiatus from working on cars. I'm ok looking like a complete idiot so long as everything gets done properly. Anyway, I wouldn't have asked... but I searched literally everywhere, and this was the closest thing I could possibly find that even slightly gave me an answer... https://www.scegaskets.com/...r-Main-Seal-Inst.pdf ... and that's for a two-piece rear main seal that doesn't get pressed in. We do that frequently enough in the shop that there are very few times we have to refer to FSM's for guidance. Hope you didn't mind me busting your chops a bit.... 82-T/A [At Work] MAY 12, 03:37 PM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: We do that frequently enough in the shop that there are very few times we have to refer to FSM's for guidance. Hope you didn't mind me busting your chops a bit.... No, thanks, I appreciate it. But it goes to show... even when you think you've accounted for EVERYTHING, there's still some things you might miss. We took tons of pictures, and even have a spare engine to pull a few parts off of (such as if one bolt is too rusty, and we want a nicer one). This is one of the things we missed. Kind of interesting, but other than the year-to-year improvements on the engine... there were a bunch of other things that changed too, just on parts alone. Like, even the spark plug loom holders... in the 84-... ? 86 maybe? They had loom clips all the way around the valve cover in case it the wires would be wrapped on one side or another. But in 87 (or at least i know for a fact in 88), they removed most of the little clips. There's a bunch of little things like that, even the brackets changed year to year.
