Engine assembly (was Re: Reassembling/reinstalling engine: preferred order

Here's another little trick I just learned about 1/2
hr ago...  Bill/Will Perry don't use a gasket on the
end plate of a 1275, just lots of RTV, and it doesn't
leak.  It also makes the plate a bit of a PIA to
remove.  You too can find this out if, after checking
your rod bearings and doing a general inspection, you
snap off the little 1/4-28 bolt that holds the oil
strainer into the rear main bearing cap, and you now
have to remove the rear bearing cap to drill it out.

When opportunity knocks, don't bitch about the noise.
