Re: Rear main seal
Wrongo. The lower half of the seal has tabs on either end that fit in
grooves in the bearing cap. This is what differentiates the top half from
the lower. If you use the factory pan gasket it's one piece. The older, 4
piece (POS) pan gasket has tabs for the front & rear pieces. I'd run from
that version like it had herpes!

Re: Rear main seal
That four piece pan gasket bites the big one. It is the hardest thing to get
on right I have done in a while. I wish I knew about the one piece when I
did mine. Holy crap between removing the stock gasket and installing the
four piece It was one heck of a miserable job.

Hi Kevin,
I've been getting away with just laying line of silicone about 3/16
of an inch around over a perfectly clean surfaces, right down the center
jogging to the inside around pan bolts, that amount doesn't slop out.
