I just had a complete long block installed a little under 14,000 miles ago. I blew a trans line on the way to Carlisle and cooked the fluid a little from slippage due to fluid loss. Bob Simpson of the NJTACC really helped me out as well as doing a great job fixing the leak. I had the fluid and filter changed at Jacob's Service Center in N. Smithfield, RI. While they were checking for leaks from the trans pan after reinstalling it they told me my rear main seal was leaking a little. Should this be leaking so soon? I might be mistaken, but wouldn't that have been a new part not transfered from the previous engine. The cause for the new long block was a broken crank (snapped at first journal). Is this a common problem for SC's or should my car be rechristened as "Jinx"? I mean this is the 3rd engine in under 100,000 miles, and most of the guys and gals I've talked to in various forums on this board have gone at least 70,000 plus with just the typical HG problems. Aside from a little fun now and then, I don't drive my car as hard as people think I do. I don't baby it, but I don't beat on it either. At the very least I expected the previous engine to outlast my tires! Any ideas?
