 If it ain't one thing, it's another. Got my plug wire issue solved and went for a cruise only to have the rear main eat itself again - this time way worse than before. I thought I had this thing licked with no leaks after a few hundred miles and a bunch of dyno pulls. It had it idling in the garage most of the afternoon as I dinked with timing and such and it was dry as a bone. It blew cruising at a low RPM and was fairly sudden when it happened. Limped it home in a giant cloud of smoke leaving a trail of expensive Driven oil behind me. Fortunately I was only a mile or so from home. Not sure what I could be doing wrong. I can definitely see pieces of seal collected around the rear of the crank and I think I'm even seeing chunks of seal in the oil that's dripping down from the pan. I might leave this next pass to a professional.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
