Subject: Re: rear main bearing 38 v-12
Hi there,
The oil "seal" on the V12 is located behind the flywheel and is actually seperate to the sump and block.
You need to remove the flywheel which you can "sometimes" do without removing the sump.
The seal housing just un bolts, however there is actually no seal inside, it is only an oil scroll and you will need a crank out job if you want to modify to a real seal.
I have probably got pictures etc if you need them.
Regards,
Julian
