Great idea, looking for other Southern California Members!
I was thinking that these two repairs could be done by a traditional/regular engine mechanic. The irony is that a regular mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal!
He has great reviews on Yelp, I suspect he’s never worked on other K5’s and doesn’t know about the whole having to install the Rear Main Seal at an Off Set angle. His hourly rates are good, my buddy went to high school with him, etc. Still I think if I take it back to him will it be just another chance for him to screw it up again?? I have a great YouTube how to video for him to watch!
Maybe I could watch him do it, and make sure it’s installed offset. Just thinking out out loud here.
Have any of you replaced the Rear Main Seal? I’d love for you to verify the video instructions are correct. Others have said there are some incorrect how to videos out there.
