Just need to vent a little. I am sick and tired of these new so called "5.0" cars stealing our glory. Every time I go on youtube or google to find info on something about our 5.0 I'm greeted with butt loads of results on 2011 Coyote 5.0's! This is getting out of hand. At first I was excited about the return of the 5.0, but now I'm not so sure.
I guess the solution from now on is whenever we post vids or pics use "302" in addition to the "5.0" tag so searches will find the correct 5.0 instead of the Coyote. DAMN THE COYOTE!! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!!! lol

I just search 'Fox' or 'SN95' when looking for vids on youtube.
On a side note: I just got the car up on jacks and the tranny out to replace the rear main seal.
So much work for such a small thing. But, its been getting progressively worse each year. And the last time I changed the oil it started leaking fresh oil almost immediately
Now, how do you guys like to install them: lubed, dry, lubed center only, etc???
Lay it out. I'd bet everyone on here would appreciate it.
Just so I got your suggestion straight you are saying to not put anything on the outter surface to help install the seal.
Just oil the inner surface that the crakshaft rotates on and tap in the seal with the rest of it dry.
Well, some bad news for me. I pulled the transmission last week to swap out the leaking rear main seal. Today I wanted to clean the tranny as well as the clutch linkage cover, pivot arm and the engine plate that protects the flywheel. Cleaning the outside of the transmission I saw a lot of cracks all over the cover and the case itself. I can't believe the thing held together. I uploaded a couple pics to my Stangnet album. Check it out.
Tony at Astroperformance just confirmed what you guys are saying.
Since there is no oil coming from the "cracks' it is just casting flaws.
As for vacationing, my family is about to go on our very first real vacation ever too!
For the last 14 years every so called vacation has been to visit family for holidays and that's never relaxing and rarely fun.
Now that we actually live where the family is (most of them anyways) we can take an actual vacation.
We're doing the San Diego thing.
The zoo, Sea World and Legoland.
We got one of those deals from Costco for discounts to all of them.
