Well this is a pic of a bad Rear main seal
Engine on stand with oil pan
And here is the oil pan removed exposing the crank and rods.
Tomorrow I plan on removing the crank, rods, and pistons. Wish me luck!

However I plan on disonecting the connecting rods from the crank, and pushing the piston out the bottom with the rods, which I guess in reality is the top.

You get them baggies and bins yet? Don't forget to note the direction of the rods with the stamped #'s, and also their location. You don't want the #4 rod on #1 journal.. keep them as they are.

Perry951, believe it or not I did get the baggies. After I read your first post I went to the grocery store, bought a box of zip lock bags and the special markers used to write on the plastic. Everything is nice and neat now. I stripped several of the pressure plate bolts so thoes will have to be replaced. Other than that things are going A-Okay.

Raj, thanks for the kind words. Do you have that RARE 968 turbo engine yet? If you dont have the engine in yet I would die to come and help put it in!

Christian,
Cool pics and good luck with the job. Can I ask how you plan on putting the new rear main seal on? I'll be replacing mine this weekend, and haven't really come up with a surefire way to install the main seal correctly.
Any tips?

FYI:
As previously posted by Bill -
"I spent about an hour in the Vicks plumbing section and finally found a tool to drive in the rear seal. I don't know about anyone else, but all my sockets and bearing driver tools were too small for the job.
It turned out that a 4" PVC cap is just a little smaller then the seals OD and is also a little narrower then the seals ID. I also filed off the threads to get a better grip on it. The main seal is with the PVC cap in the pictures.
