Re: Rear Main Seal - Help please
Mr. PC, and Kurt seem to have every thing under control.
The rod was tinned, and the babbitt didn't stick to the tinning.
If the rod was not tinned, the metal would be dark.
So the tinning stayed, and the babbitt fell out as the two surfaces didn't melt together, as in cold solder joint.
The rod next to the burnt out one has some babbitt splatters on it, and was not cleaned. If you are sloppy and don't clean all the rod metal, the splatters can come off and also cause bearing problems.
Like the boys said, be safe check all the bearings.
