Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

Having just done both a seal change while in the car and a whole engine drop with cooler replacement (and a quick 2056 upgrade), I would have to say go for both. Replacing the seals in the car was super easy, and if that is the only thing wrong, go for it. However, I replaced my seals in about an hour only to find that in fact my cooler was cracked...
So, if you are confident it is the seals, just slide the cooler back, pop in the new ones, and call it a day. If you are not sure... well, in the time it took you to replace the seals you could have dropped the engine. I only suggest the easy no drop because if you do drop the engine you could have issues with old brittle wiring etc. |
