We purchased a 1962 Hawk about 1 1/2 years ago. It happens that my wife and I actually remember the car from a previous owner about 10 - 15 years. We haven't started the body work yet, but that will start after I have some other projects completed. I found out today that the engine had been "gone through" some years ago. This testimony came from this same reliable previous owner of some years ago. The car has not been run that much since though.
The problem is that the engine leaks oil pretty badly from the front and rear seal. It leaks whether its moving or not! Probably more when the engine is running though.
My question is whether the seals can be replaced without removing the engine and how this can be accomplished. I don't recall if the repair manual presents a very good detail of how to accomplish the replacement without removing the engine.
Any thoughts?
