with the engine installed? Instructions and videos I've seen all show how to do the job with the engine removed. Presumably, during an engine rebuild or car restoration. Does it help to remove the sheet metal? -6, if it matters. Thanks in advance.

this youtuber did it with engine out;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVkFtQxOoTY I personally was too lazy to R&R motor but was able to change out 3 of the four required seals with the motor in place. my channels were dry and rust free. a few paint scratches does not bother me. The last one I need to swap out is at the firewall, which will be changed out when the motor does come out. |
