This is one of the worst rear main seal leak I have ever seen. It filled the pan to that point in less than 1 hour, engine off. You see the constant drip in the video, again, vehicle off. Video has to be uploaded separately, look at other post if interested.

Got it repaired and back to the customer.

Shop truck is down, so towing is out for a little bit. But it has not stopped me from working. Engine mounts were definitely bad on this one.

Installed a coilover kit on this Chrysler 300C. I like the new stance of it. It is not yet 100% done but I think I got the right look for it.

It will be getting all fluids exchanged with Amsoil as well and a few bushings I found were going bad on its last inspection.

It's been way too long, and the customer and friend has been very patient with me, which I really appreciate. But I finally got the Audi TT donor engine on the stand, ready for inspection and basic rebuild/reseal. It's getting a turbo upgrade, Downpipe, and a few other things as well while we're in there.

Should be a fun project 👍

I'll try to keep the page updated as I go. But it's been hard for me, and I apologize.

This Jeep came in the shop with a misfire. Customer stated another shop said he needs an engine because they couldn't find the misfire.

I took a compression test. Found both rear cylinders had 0 compression.

Pulled the valve covers and found both rear cylinders had the exhaust valves stuck open, causing the lack of compression. ..

I knew heads has to be removed.

Once removed, I found the exhaust valve seats dropped from overheating, caused by a leaking radiator.

Anyway, I sent the heads to my friend's machine shop to be refurbished, got a new water pump, radiator, and thermostat.

Heads are at the machine shop getting rebuilt since they were overheated and dropped valve seats, which resulted in no c...

Heads are at the machine shop getting rebuilt since they were overheated and dropped valve seats, which resulted in no compression in both rear Cylinders.

While that is on hold until I get the heads back, I am working on the transmission swap I posted about last time. I've been busy with mobile jobs since I pulled the transmission out and haven't had time to work on it again. Should have one car going tonight or tomorrow if all goes well.

Removed the transmission from this silver Impala. It is getting swapped into the blue Grand Prix. With a few other small jobs in between, it should be done in a couple of days if all goes as planned.
