sealing up the engine
sealing up the engine I'm going to change the rod bolts,oil pump and timing chain on my 74,000 mile shortblock.My question is:how critical is it lining up the front and rear covers and oil pan?Do you need the kent moore kit?Is there a simpler way?

have to make sure you dont mess up the rear main seal.
when you get a new seal, keep the plastic ring that goes inside it. wrap some tape around it to make it bigger and put it back in the seal, it stretches it out.. keep doing it untill the rear seal goes on there real easy
