Does anyone have a name of a trusted mechanic they could recommend in the greater Seattle area? Someone with actual knowledge of our FE engines. I've been having a problem with a leaking rear main seal that no ones been able to fix.

The FE's are plagued with leaking rear main seals, (a driving factor of why I'm not a big fan of them).

And the worst part is that I could see no real way to even drop the pan on our trucks, (short of pulling the engine) to address the issue).

I hope you can find an old skool shop in the area that can maybe lift the engine to drop the pan and install a new seal.

Bump...

Oregon? Maybe too far but worth the drive.
