FTE saves the day agian
I got the melling LPOP installed and let it run for about 25 minutes no leak yet. Time will tell but I am thinking it will be ok. Thanks to you guys who helped. I am very OCD about leaks and fixing them ASAP. Finished the R&R in about three hours total.

The remove and replace went smooth. I was very surprised at how simple it went honestly. The hardest part was removing the fan and then removing the harmonic balancer. I took a rubber mallet and gaveit a few light blows and the front LOPO body body fell off the truck. I was nervous about this repair before but was amazed at how easy it really was. I cannot believe that the dealer quoted me 1100 to do the job.....
Good luck with yours.

Well I am glad to hear everything went smoothly and no more leak. I too let my OCD get the better of me when it comes to things dripping on my driveway. So since you didn't say anything I take it the harmonic balancer didn't have any damage on it?

If it did I didnt catch it. I looked it over really well and couldnt see any flaws in it.

Also I forgot to mention, putting the breaker bar against the frame and bumping the starter really made getting the bolt loose a dream. Also the two vise grips on the flywheel to hold the motor from turning was really helpful as well.
