Oberstar Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Gents- none of my manuals show, what appears to be, a bolt that comes from inside the block, and attaches to the front engine plate? I'm attempting to change out the seal there, and the timing cover seal, and having a heck of a time removing it due to that object sitting at the 8 o'clock position from the gear. The only holdup to re-sealing this motor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motterso Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 That bolt holds the white metal flange that the oil pan seals on. There are 2 of these - one bolts from the outside (you probably already got that one) and this one that bolts from the inside. Unfortunately, you will need to drop the pan top get at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberstar Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks, Motterso. Grief- nothing's easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 It is rarely necessary to remove and regasket this plate unless the crankshaft is to be removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
