Does anyone know the answer to this? From a mechanical standpoint, I don't understand why standoffs are used. Similarly, why are standoffs used on Cummins exhaust manifold bolts?
Anyone have a rear main seal installer they will rent me? I'll pay shipping. They are $150 from Merchant Automotive so I'm hoping to luck out on here. Maybe I'll get really lucky and someone in the area will have one...Tacoma, WA anyone?
thanks
