Will a new rear main seal leak when its new? More specifically if the engine has been tilted nose up with a cherry picker at a steep angle?

yeah, it sucks. whats the best way to do it?

by being innovative or buying a tool that helps the install of these types of seals (i did both and the tool was the cheaper route heh)

did you install it flush with the metal around it or push it in as far as it could go

Did you do it yourself or have it done???

Because I took mine to the dealer and had them do the clutch and the Rm seal.
And my shiznit is still cranked up.

I didn't have the tools to do it myself last time.
I'd rather mess it up once myself and learn how to do it.
Than pay someones' premium to screw it up :3d_frown:.

I always have issues getting these type of seals on :( I'm just not very good at it.

My Cam, Oil Pump, or Front Main is leaking... I'm not looking forward to getting into that mess :\
