Got some good work done tonight....
1. Replaced rear main seal, don't know if it really leaked but I wanted to clean the pan out so why not.... Now it will probably start leaking
2. Cleaned out oil pump, full of gunk
3. Installed new oil pan gaskets, didn't get the one piece but figured the good old fashioned kind would work....
4. Primered entire engine... I used duplicolor engine primer rated at 500 degrees. Is this an ok base coat? What about the basic engine paint in a praycan for Chevy Orange? Anything better? any way to "gloss it up"?
