Shop time on my pan was 5.5, rear main probably another 1.5 and the mounts were..

Mine took 16 hours..

Prepare for them to not line up. Never do.

But broke college kid.... I dunno If I can afford poly mounts at this point, but I can't afford to have to put in a quart of Royal purple every few weeks

There's your first mistake. High priced 710.

Good luck man. Will seems willing (hehe) to help, I'd take him up on the offer. I'm sure you two young whipper snappers can muscle a T56 into place (just drain it before you un-bolt it.

My pan deal cost 525 like I said.. Could hold off on the mounts all together and just fix what's broke.. :/

It could be the seal around your oil level gauge. had that happen to me and thought it was the rear seal at first. For the seal on the level gauge, you have to buy the whole level gauge. it's alot cheaper then changing the rear main, so I would look there first

I haven't driven the car in awhile to check if it was the fix, but I had oil all over the bottom of the engine from a timing cover leak. I could see it bubbling up and leaking out once the car was warmed up, but like I said I've only driven the card 20 miles since the cam swap so I don't know if there were leaks elsewhere.

you really need to get under the car and clean up as much oil as you can and then try to see where it is really coming from.
