Well, thanks for all your input folks. The rear seal is finished. A bolt broke out of the flywheel assbly, threw everything out of balance and wrecked the mains. Oh well, such is life. Anyone with an extra 7.3 in northern Alberta?

Sorry to hear about that. Is it cheaper to replace the engine, or could you get a crank and replace that, along with the bearings?
