SCAT 408 stroker crankshaft rear main seal leak

Ok, was just going to mention that a friends 493 had a big rear main leak. They discovered that the arp studs interfered with the main seal carrier just slightly and they had to do some clearancing to get it to sit flush. No more rear main leak after that.

WOW, I can't believe they didn't catch that! Every time I'm assembling any B-engine with studs, it's a major problem. They give you 12pt nuts to help but they need serious grinding EVERY TIME for me!
