Howdy All,
I have a Ford L7000 with a CAT 3208. Leaks oil out the rear of the engine something fierce (I know, kinda like saying I have an old Detroit Diesel that leaks oil!).
Anyway, I've heard of changing out seals I'm gassers by pulling main bearing caps and letting rear of crank lower a bit so you can snake the new seal up/over. Can this be done with a 3208 in-frame?
Probably just gonna keep dumping oil in for the time being. At least the frame won't rust...
Thanks,
Darryl
