I had a minor oil leak on the reverse rotation port engine. Turns out that there is a rear main seal for that application. Disconnected prop shaft, tranny, bell housing, flex plate, flywheel and riser elbows for exhaust. Raised up and rotated back to set rear of engine block on planking across the stringers. Removed the oil pan, removed the oil p/u tube. I loosened all main beating caps and removed last cap. I old seal slid right out, replaced with new seal, installed and re-torqued all parts. Hardest part of the entire job was cleaning the old pan gasket off the block.
The only thing left is to put batteries back, but this will give me the chance to install a genny in their place.
Today my new 18,500btu A/C and heat unit was delivered, thats next....

On my pacemaker someone had installed a standard rotation seal on my reverse rotation engine. I did the same thing to correct it.

Same thing happened to my starboard engine. It wasn't caught until the engine was put in. I was pretty pissed.
