Hey guys hopefully assembling my motor in a week or so..... machine shop is dicking me around.... found a better one already but the first one still has my rotating assembly for balancing which has lasted over a month.... oh well..

i need install the main seals, any way to do it without the special $400 tools?? do you have to press on the just the outter ring or the inner as well?

anybody have a front and rear main installer tool i can borrow? or know where i can get them cheap?

thanks :hug:

Goto your local GM dealer sometimes if your nice and have bought enough stuff they will help u, also a 20spot to the right person don't hurt either, Atleast that's how it works from where I'm from. :D

I saw you're in CT and thought "just ask Ben"....and there he was.

Oh, by the way B, I may be needing those tools in a couple weeks if everything goes right. :rofl:
