One other point: I seem to remember reading here that it's not critical for the rear seal to be in good condition on these engines, because the thrust flange acts as a slinger, and by slinging the oil outward from the crankshaft, the oil doesn't have much chance to escape out the back of the engine. Is this correct, and does it really negate the need for a seal in good shape?
