I already ordered the parts and got some of that red loctite. Hopefully this will not happen again!! Looks like the 402 is going to have to wait a little longer!

One more question. Should I replace my front main (crank) seal. I just replaced it when i did my oil pump back in January of this year? Its only been about 3k miles.....

Same thing happened to me. I was about 10 short for the longest time and couldn't figure out why and sure as hell when I was doing my rebuild I found the same thing that you did. A good chunk of the seal was just missing and I found it later in the pan... Glad you found it!

As long as you have it down that far.. replace every thing you can aford to...
The cam plate looks like it has some wear.. change it, the seal (which the manual said to do everytime the balancer is removed) and pump, timing change..
may cost a little bit more.. but it will last longer and give you a peace of mind that all is good. (unless your planning to goto that new motor soon).

Is there suppose to be a seal on the back of the or behind the cam retainer plate like that? I ask because I don't think mine has one and I've been having oil pressure problems since the cam install. I've had it apart 3 times made sure the cam retainer plate was tight replaced the o-ring, etc. I was beginning to think it was the bearings but know this has thrown me for a loop again.
