Posted April 12, 200024 yr comment_303 Is this a "garage mechanic job" or should I have a pro do it? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/132-leaky-rear-main-seal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 15, 200024 yr comment_304 I gotta say, it's probably a bigger job than you want. AFAIK, you have to remove the crankshaft, which requires removing the engine... this is one of those things that always seems to lead to a full rebuild and/or different engine. Is your PCV system working properly? A clogged PCV valve can cause crankcase pressure to build up, causing oil leaks. (found that out the hard way after plugging my PCV on purpose, ) Kyle ------------------ Kyle Hagemann Moderator, 240Z list '69 2000 Roadster '71 PL521 Pickup '72 240Z Hotrod Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/132-leaky-rear-main-seal/#findComment-304 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 21, 200024 yr comment_306 I'm not sure ('cuz I haven't done it myself) but I don't think you have to remove the crank. I think the flywheel has to come off and you might have to remove the last bearing cap, but I think the seal fits over the end of the crank.When all else fails, RTFM!----------------------------John Coffeyjohncof@veriomail.com[This message has been edited by John Coffey (edited 04-20-2000).] Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/132-leaky-rear-main-seal/#findComment-306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
