John,
If you chose to do the rear engine seal, you may have
to replace the sump gasket...if you tear it when
pulling the seal housing. Not a big deal, but it
might be a good idea to have one on hand in addition
to the seal & the seal housing gasket. Think about
thrust washers...always think about thrust
washers...Don't forget the pilot bushing too.
Yes, the cars on the 6-PACK Newsletter Cover are all
6-PACK member cars. The photos were taken at the
Cincinnati British car show...ask me how I know.
Cheers,
Todd Bermudez
