BAD NEWS!!! No excuses... I forgot the friggin REAR MAIN SEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Upon start up, oil poured from the trans to engine mate up area... First I thought we'd hurt the slave cylinder by pressure bleeding it, or bending the hydrolic clutch line to clear the Vortech bracket, but NO!!! Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be engine oil... Rear main seal is still in the package.

The good news is that we only ran the engine a very short while and the amount of oil loss was minimal enough to save the engine. Rear main seal... I still can't believe it!



Smithers...

release the hounds.
