Is my rear main seated completely? With pics

Was just making sure before I bolt this PP up and drop this thing back into its rightful home.

It doesn't look like it. If you still have the old seal, turn its flat face to the flat face on that one and use a small hammer to tap it the rest of the way in.

Use something to spread the load and it'll go in just fine.

Hey that old seal is an awesome trick, fell into place perfectly with no extra force, I was using a new (extra) poly endlink to tap it in with but must have been absorbing too much shock to get it in.. the old seal worked like a charm.. whatda think now?




getting close.. eek...





Wanna bolt this up!!





Got dust in the SHO i didnt see until the flash hit it.. damn camera picks up too much.. Thanks

I lay the carrier on the floor and place a board over the seal and step on it.

 

[Eric VerValin]

LoL.. sounds quite creative..

Mmmmmm....pretty engine. After all that work you did, you should have devised another way to lift it other than chains. There is a chance you might mess up that pretty paint job on the valve covers. Glad I could help.

yea i will say that I had to make sure the chain was facing the right way, and the weld was on the outside, but with the washer behind it it stays enough away I hope to not be a problem.

I agree... I used old valve covers or if none are available, rags.

very nice work!i just need my funds to come in and stay a-while instead of just going out.nice clean engine!!!!!good luck on the install !!

Purdy engine! I forget what they look like clean.

 

[Eric VerValin]

I'll have to get a pic of the old block, glad I didnt have to clean that up. im going to fold up some shop rags I think and put them between the chain and valve cover just in hopes it wont scratch. Its all enamel and should be pretty tough, not as hard as pc tho.
