1969 455 rear main seal install question
I am going to be replacing my rear main seal on my 1968 Cutlass S. The motor is a '69 455 out of Toronado. Do I need to remove the transmission to do this. I know on a Chevy you do but from what I have seen on a Olds 455 in the chassis manual and on videos it's just the rear main cap? Any help would be very appreciated.

Get rid of the rope seal and replace it with a neoprene seal. I can't remember the part number, it's original application is a Ford 429 engine. You may have to loosen the other main bearing caps to let the crank drop a little to slip it into place. The ford part is much easier to install
