Default Re: 33 Rear Main Leak

Thank you for the photos of the baffle pan. That is very helpful.

I dropped the rear main bearing and used plastigauge. The rear main bearing cap is wider than 3" and has an insert. The plastigauge showed that the bearing was within spec at .003.

I re-tapped the rear main bearing hole and have an original tube to reinstall (the one that was in there was 1/3 the size of the original tube and may be backing up the oil in the back of the rear main bearing cap). Can someone please post a photo of which direction the tube should be facing (I assume straight down rather than an angle down).

With regard to the oil pump, how can I tell the pressure-volume? Given that I do not have a baffle pan, I will likely reuse the pump that came out.

Thanks.
