93K. Bought from my Russian friend who buys auction vehicles and rebuilds them to the nines, this one was a parts truck because it had a manual, and Oleg likes autos.

Runs really well. If I keep my foot out of the throttle body it gets decent mileage. So far I have not gotten decent mileage very often, if you take my meaning... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Frankly, I was waffling on the rear main but had bought one and it was in the parts box I gave Mike at ORS. So he put it in after he pulled the flywheel to turn it. Just cuz. Nice touch really; the closer I look at what Mike did the more impressed I am. So I have no idea; I was advised that if it ain't leaking, it probably will after you change it (that's why I waffled)!

But I am thinking that basic good mechanical skills should yield a non-leaking seal. Assuming the crank doesn't need sleeving, and you don't sleeve it.

Darin or EB would be the info sources I would turn to on crank seal and sleeving info.
