rear main seal

After 3,000 miles I think I have the same on my 427W. At first thought it was the oil pan, but now it's looking a little worse. Got to get her up in the air tomorrow and take a better look... Damn thing runs GREAT though!

Just an update on my prior note above... Had a chance to do some more looking under the car. It appears to be leaking at the front corners of the oil pan. On both front corners of the pan, the gasket "squishes out" a bit and is soaking wet with oil. It is apparently running back along that line to the back of the pan and then blowing back onto the block plate, tranny, etc. I could find no oil anywhere above the oil pan, so I think that's it.

Hey, Doug. I've got my pan out right now as well (for a different reason). Hey, send it out for a powder coat while you have it apart (mine is at Embee right now...should get it back on Thurs).

Call me if you want to discuss.

Dean,
Mine already has a very nice ceramic coating on it that I paid dearly for. I'm going to be very careful not to scratch it! Good luck with whatever you have going on...

Thanks!
Doug
