<P>Greg thanks for the help. I see all the smart guys can take the tranny off in the frame ! Well dummy here has both out and on the bench. Looking at a parts list I see that the carrier housing for the rear main seal is also holding the rear main bearing, is this right? And if it is, how do they hold the crank shaft up when they pull that housing off when its in the frame ? If you do not take the housing out how does the rear main seal come out ? Any of you guys done this before?</P>
<P>As for the JB Weld, Do you put the JB on the outside to stop oil leaks or do you have to instal the plug with it on ?.</P>
<P>Thanks for your help Guys</P>

<DIV></DIV>Hi Ted,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Not to answer for Mark (and please correct me if I mis-speak, Mark),
<DIV></DIV>but...
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Generally it's a good idea to JB Weld the cam plug because some of them
<DIV></DIV>have tendency to leak. I suppose one could actually come out, but I've
<DIV></DIV>not heard of that...especially given that the forces from the helically
<DIV></DIV>cut cam shaft timing gear move the cam in the opposite direction. Having
<DIV></DIV>said this, I've not JB welded mine.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>As for paper gaskets, given the effort you've gone to get everything
<DIV></DIV>apart and put back together, I would definitely put in new paper
<DIV></DIV>gaskets. There is nothing particularly excitely about the Guzzi paper
<DIV></DIV>gaskets that seperate them from paper gaskets you can make yourself.
<DIV></DIV>Guzzi one's are just already cut out. If you are planning to address
<DIV></DIV>other gaskets in the future, you might as well purchase the whole gasket
<DIV></DIV>kit, as I believe you save a few dollars that way.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>As for the religious issue of whether or not to use some type of gasket
<DIV></DIV>sealer on the gasket, I'll leave that decision up to you.
