I have about 25 miles on a fresh 59AB build in a 32 High Boy. The rear main seal or rear pan gasket leaks like really bad. After a ten mile drive I get a puddle about 18 inches diameter. I pulled the engine and trans to remove the LZ gears and install 28 tooth gears in the transmission.

So as long as the engine is out I pulled the oil pan and found nothing wrong with with pan gaskets. So is there a way to pull crank without removing rods and pistons. By putting it all at top dead center is this going to work.
