Default Bill Ball: Another Appreciation (Rear Main Seal)

I recently finished a rear main seal install. Obviously, I used Bill's write-up available here on the Forum and on his Web page. Bill also was unstinting in patiently answering my questions and helping me over some rough spots.

I made quite a few mistakes. But those are what we learn from. So, if there's anyone in the DC-MD-northern-VA area who's contemplating this job, PM me. I'll gladly volunteer my time and some fabricated tools in hopes of making the job a little less tedious and stressful.

Egad! I don't know if I can take this. The truth is I get a lot more help from you guys here than I provide.

You are a legend Bill, now and forever.

In fifty years, the stories of Bill Ball lifting a motor out one handed.

Then there will be the stories of a maverick fabricator known as Por'Ken casting magic hardware to improve the engine you removed one handed!
