The engine was overhauled about ten years ago. Overbore, hot tank, etc. The machine shop installed the soft plugs and the visible liquid gasket.

I cleaned all of the old liquid gasket off and sanded everything clean with emery cloth before cleaning with lacquer thinner, followed by the JB Weld.

The clutch was new at engine overhaul.

Volvo rear main seals have a much tighter grip than aftermarket rear main seals. I use only Volvo rear main seals.
