I was able to get some time this weekend, at the cost of all of the household chores, to pull the motor so I can start repairing the main seal leak.
I was a bit nervous about doing it for the first time but, It was relatively straight forward and much easier then I thought it would be. Hopefully I can get back to the job this weekend so we can button this thing up and I can start driving it again. Thanks to @ChrisFoley for the engine lift plate. Thing worked like a charm! Here are a couple pictures: Attached thumbnail(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) on knowing how to drop the engine / trans / exhaust / muffler as an assembly. This is the easiest way to do it in my opinion.

Never used seal installer but up to you if not confident on a replacement fitting ,IMO its more important what seal you use , I won't touch anything that isn't a known brand such as Kaco ,Elring etc,I avoid Victor Reinz as found a poor fit in my 911 motor case to the point I have no trust now, they do make great gaskets however. A good lick of motor oil on the crank and seal lip and a small bit on the OD of the seal helps it go in better you will be fine . |

The one I had in there was from GoWesty but like I said, I'm sure we damaged it putting it in. Hopefully, it's "2nd time is a charm" on this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
