rear main seal in 5.3 ?
anyone had problems here
i have a 5.3 from a 04 buick rainer being transplanted to a 68 camaro
i have a friend w/ a 04 rainer who had rear mail replaced & his mechanic said this was a known problem w/ these engine
just curious how widespread a problem it is & whether i should replace seal before i install engine

I heard that the old style rear seals leaked alot and they(GM) redesigned them to fix this problem. I don't know if this true or not.....but if you have the engine out, then I would R&R it.
