rear main install....

[XFlow_Fairlane]

ok looks liek I need to redo my rear main in a couple weeks when I go home for break. FYI I got an oil leak all over my clutch and will be pulling the motor and trans out to inspect and repair. the motor has the seal that was put on it when it was rebuilt some years ago (VERY low milage) it didn't start leaking until I got about 120 miles on the motor. it only leaks when warm. now as far as I can tell it is one of three things leaking

1. rear main
2. oilpan
3. crank bolts

so what is the proper install on teh seal and crank bolts?

wsa111 had a post a few days ago on how he does it. Do a search for his posts and you will find it. I'm just too lazy to find the link

do the ends need to be rotated that much? since I am doing this on an assembled running engine do I just put one in rotated and then work the other in?
