Inspection plate WAS: Rear Seal / Oil Pan
 

Which brings me to something I've always wondered: When you take that
inspection plate off, what can you inspect? There's not a lot mechanical,
adjustable or inspectable going on on the forward side of the flywheel.

Me, I'm thinking that is is a fancy way of saying "dust shield", but I
could be wrong.

Re: Rear Seal / Oil Pan
 
You 'really' don't want to go and break the new glue seal!!!!

Once you tighten the bolts, you can't breath on it until it cures.

If you turn the bolts again, you will just tear open the fresh seal and
it will leak like a sieve.

Use the one piece rubber gasket and put in on DRY. Make sure the oil pan
and block are really clean -- use a wire wheel if you have to. Make sure
the oil pan gasket seats on the back of the rear main cap.

Use any soap you like, just be careful not to tear the new seal.

Later was about 1/2 hour after I tourqed it to 8 foot punds. I
originally thought I had the tourque wrench set to 120 inch pounds (10
ft lb's) but noticed that I had messed up. I imagine the silicone was
still quite soft and should be fine.
