    To remove the seal you can also drill a small pilot hole through the seal and put a self tapper in and use a metal Trim pry tool and pry on the self tapper to remove it. Be careful though not to go too far and Knick the surface behind the seal

    Another thing you NEED TO check for is to make sure that the crankshaftwhere the seal "seals" is not grooved from the old bad seal wearing into it. A lot of times that will happen and you will need to get a Repair Sleeve for the crank shaft to go on prior to the seal installtion other whys the new seal will last about the first start up and you will be dumping oil out again.

    Great video man, as always! Btw I have a question for you: I have a 1985 F150 with the 302 V8 EFI and for some reason it stalls while prolonged idling after reaching operating temperature and starts to surge like its not getting fuel after turning it off and starting it back up within 30 minutes. Any idea why?
    I've already replaced both front and rear fuel tanks and fuel pumps, the high pressure inline, changed the fuel filter, replaced the EGR, and changed the MAP sensor. I'm really stumped on this one and really need some help.
    The truck will drive perfectly fine from cold at highway speeds but I have to leave it turned off for 30 minutes at least before I drive it again or it'll start surging for fuel.

    After recently installing my rebuilt transmission back to my truck I have a vibration/shakiness whenever it’s on. It does it in idle even when the truck is not moving and it was never like this before. You can feel it even when just sitting in the cab, so I was wondering could it be my flex plate or would it be an imbalanced torque converter? I did have a new rebuilt torque converter installed and I also did remove the flex to replace the seal so my guess is that it could be one of the two

      The 1992 302 is also a one-piece seal. However...yes...you still have to lift the motor to drop the oil pan...because of the position of the motor mount crossmember. I think that's common with Ford trucks of that era. Don't have to touch the oil pan, though, to do the rear main seal. Where the oil pan becomes a pain in the ass is when you're changing the timing cover at the front of the engine....and you end up having to try to redo the curved piece of gasket shared between oil pan and timing cover Pretty tough to get it to seal exactly right.

    Hi Stevey, I recently purchased a 96 F-150 with the 5.0 and have learned a lot with your videos. I have noticed a small coolant leak coming from the rear main seal. I don’t see any evidence of it coming from anywhere else. I also noticed that it won’t start leaking until after a couple days of the truck sitting and not running.

    Where was the oil leaking from with the bad rear main seal? And how much was it leaking? My 95 has oil around where I'd think a bad rear main seal would leak but I do have some oil seepage from the driver side valve cover and it looks like the oil could possibly be from that.

    • @TheMinuteMasters
      @TheMinuteMasters  2 года назад

      The three main culprits for oil leaks on these trucks is the valve cover gasket, the oil pan gasket, and the rear main seal. You may have a leak from either one of those but replacing any of them is a step in the right direction. For me, typically a rear main seal drips right from the bell housing of the transmission.

    • @Acaidia
      @Acaidia 2 года назад +1

      @@TheMinuteMasters First of all thanks for the help. I get a slow but continuous leak right on my bell housing. It's slow enough to where it rarely drips oil onto my driveway where I park it and the dipstick always reads full. So far the only thing I can tell for certain is leaking is the drivers side valve cover gasket. Once I install the new gaskets I'll be able to tell if that is the sole source of the leak or just one of multiple. Currently I'm leaking much more coolant than oil so I'm more focused on fixing that. I'm only 21 so as you could probably guess I don't have particularly deep pockets meaning I can't just order every single part I need at once and slap 'em all on.
