Arthur,

Thanks for your help in defining T.D.C. a month or so ago, but I am now 
getting back to trying to get my rebuilt 1962 tr4 started.  I put oil in and 
cranked it.  I got a small leak at the timing cover and also at he oil filter 
which I have repaired but the big one is at the rear main seal.  I put in a 
new rear main when I rebuilt the engine (one of the $128.00 ones from Moss) 
but oil is coming out from under the cover over the lower portion of the gear 
box and also out of a small hole that is in the center, bottom of the gearbox 
housing.  I drained the oil and took off the pan but I am at an impasse and 
need a little direction before I go tearing into and pulling out the main 
seal.  I know if I do I will have to drop the transmission (right?) and what 
else.

Any ideas that you may have would be helpful.  Unfortunately I rebuilt the 
engine 2 years ago and don't remember a lot about what I did or didn't do but 
I believe I followed the shop manual pretty close.

Thanks for any advise you can give.  I will give you my phone number (I will 
call you back on my nickel) if it would help to talk directly.  847-265-6683

Thanks,

Greg DuPey
