A while back, there was a discussion about when the 1-piece rear main seal came on the scene. Somebody said 1986, I said, "Not my '86 LG4." I had dropped the cover a couple of weeks before that, and didn't see anything different from the 2-piece engines I'm used to (but I wasn't looking for that).

Last night, I had occasion to drop the cover again, and looked at it good this time. Guess what: 1-piece, aluminum carrier (black w/paint & 140k of crud from the bottom), counterbalanced flexplate, etc.

So, where's the catsup? I'm ready for my crow.


Hey, at least I'm SURE it doesn't have roller lifters...

Another 86 one piece rear seal chalked up to the board... Still waiting for that elusive early in the year 2 piece to show up.
