I've had either a rear crank seal or a trans input shaft seal, or both, leaking for some time now. Clutch has been slipping slightly, and I've been babying it. Yesterday the clutch gave it up. I also need to replace pushrod tube seals and motor mounts. I'm presently building a 2056 with Raby 9550 cam, so I'll be swapping engines in the near future. The swap will be a complete long block, tin and all. Pull engine, install trans, and install new engine. Now to my dilemma.
Should I, 1. pull the trans and replace seals and clutch only and drive? 2. pull engine and trans, replace seals, clutch, and pushrod tube seals 3. Pull it all and wait for the new motor and drive the truck? |

Update. I've also had some other problems lately that weren't related to the thread so I didn't bring them up. I've had some intermittent shifting slop so I decided check all the bushings. All good. I also checked the motor mounts. Clean and dry, no cracks or seperations. While checking the mounts I happen to notice the front lower tin is not in its proper position. Checking farther reveals all the screws are gone, and the tin is about an inch higher than it should be. Then I check on top. WTF??? The front peice of tin is about 1" above the engine shelf on the pass side. The tin has been ripped loose from the fan housing. The drivers side tin is 1 1/2" below the engine shelf. Engine mount bar does not appear to be bent. That would be a helluva bend. Bar to bodys mounts appear to be correct. All sheetmetal at body mount is solid with no rust.
Looks like option 4 is gonna be underway Saturday. 4. Remove engine and fix everydamn thing! At least I figured out the shifting problem. I wanna hear what your guys think is the problem with the engine being cockeyed. |
