HELP Bogus!!!!
Need some guidance. Was going to replace the front seal due to oil leak and found sparklies in the oil when I drained it. Pulled the front case off and found the driven gear had ate into the housing. Got a new front case ordered.
What worries me is the material that has gone thru the engine. Advice on where to proceed, what to do as a minimum.
Rod bearings are OK, going to replace them anyhow since it's torn down. Main bearings though are a different story. Have no means to pull the engine. Can new mains be rolled in the way we used to do the chevy engines?
Don;t want to take a chance on ruining the car after 20 yrs of good service.
