I will find out how much the main seal will cost, if it means pulling the crank then it may be time consuming.

The temp sensor (mistakenly said it was the gauge) is bad on the old engine... thats why I ended up with a bent rod, I could not tell the engine was overheating....

Engatwork thanks for the check list review. I appreciate all input. Will be adding more as we get going on this (photos)

Cheers!
Rear main seal requires pulling the crank....the front one does not.
