. AND MR. BEARING'S "TOP HALF" COULDA BEEN INSTALLED BY DROPPING THE CRANK, EVER SO SLIGHTLY, BY LOOSENING THE OTHER MAIN BEARING CAPS
. YES, THIS IS A 2 PIECE SEAL
I CANNOT SEE THAT MUCH OIL LOSS. OTHER THAN THE WRENCH'S OPERATOR ERROR. THE DARN CRANK WOULDA BEEN-A-FLOPPIN' FOR THAT TO HAPPEN
MAYBE THEY DROVE THE TOP HALF IN BACKWARDS?
YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PIC THAT THE REAR MAIN IS NOT THE "THRUST BEARING"DROPPING THE CRANK "A WEE BIT" WOULDA GAINED ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO INSTALL THE BEARING
IF THEY WERE NOT SEASONED FOLKS W/ A CJ
.I'D WORRY ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE OTHER BEARINGS
. IF THEY TOOK THE TRANSFER CASE OFF OF THE TRANNY (WITHOUT SAFEGUARDS).I'D WORRY ABOUT PICS 2-4
HECK. WHILE YOU ARE IN THERE, INSTALL ANOTHER OIL PUMP----THIS TIME A "HIGH VOLUME ONE".$100-$150 FOR THE PUMP. MR. ENGINE MIGHT LAST A LOT LONGER!
KEEP US INFORMED
