Are you sure it's the rear main seal and not the pan gasket?. I'm hedging the worst case scenario....obviously no sure way of knowing until the velvet drive is separated and the flywheel is removed. Would be nice if it were only the pan gasket. I've read many a thread, both Mopar and marine engine,...

Have a fair bit of experience building 4 cyl. race motors...not a stranger to this kind of thing, but I would like to know who might have done a rear main seal on a 225hp LM 318?

Let me know if you would like me to take pics of them.
