    The new rear main oil seal is in. The old seal was the original SII style
    with the seal bilt into the retainer halves (no spring). I fitted the newer
    type with the split ring seal and spring and two new retainer halves. I
    spent this morning putting everything back togeather and I am now in the
    process of re-intalling the engine.

    I knew that this would be the frustrating part. Tranny and engine don't
    want to meet. I've aligned the clutch disk as best I can.

    I'm at the point now where I think that it might be easier to move the
    transmission back and bolt the engine in then move the transmission to meet
    the engine.

    The hoist has to be back at the rental store tomorrow morning so I think
    it'll have to wait until next weekend.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions or helpful techniques??
