i had talked myself out of putting in a rear main seal. not so much the act of doing it but the part about having to cut the rear plate. also i have read a few posts on the MG TD site as well as other places saying it did not help. So i have been torn about the idea.
when i talked to the mechanic Moss had call me about the piston rings, he says he always puts one on his engines. but he did not cut the plate. instead he ground off part of the lower end of the bracket to make it fit inside the plate.
this is appealing to me if i can do it. first off, it seems easier to grind it away being it is aluminum and second i guess you do not have to remove the rear plate. i just put mine back on.
So guessing i am asking for suggestions here and to see if the grinding is possible.
i hate to go all this way and not do something i will regret later. the engine is already out....
Thanks
