We've got the car back together and tuning is underway. But let's talk a little bit about this rear seal. We've taken a close look at it and there is a little bit of moisture on it, and it looks like there was one drop of oil that was about to drop. But my questions are, when did GM change to such a flimsy LT4 rear? The front seal is much firmer and of course as is the LS rear seal.

I have spoken with LME about the clearances in this engine being greater than stock clearances. I'm assuming that that contributes to additional pressure on the rear seal?

I assume that if a ring was hurt, it's highly probable that it will blow out a new seal
