Hi, not sure if I am in the right section, tried the search engine but not sure how to find this, I have a 1999 5.2 magnum v-8 that I am using in a project vehicle I have it out of the car and on a stand, I would like to change the oil pan gasket and rear main seal while it is out can anybody help me find the information I need on this job?? It run`s perfect low miles but has a slight rear main seal leak.. I am just getting into Dodge product`s and not really familiar with the mechanic`s of them.. I really do like the dependability and power they offer.. yhanks any help would be greatly appreciated.. Bill

 

buy the repair manual, its all in there. the gist of it is that you flip the motor upside down on the stand, pull the oil pan and possibly the crank (i did it on a ford, so check your manual) and just replace the seals. buy the nicest oil pan gasket you can possibly find, you dont want that to leak later.

 

Thanks, I was looking to see if it is a one piece rear main like a ford.. I will buy the book anyway I am going to need it Thanks again Bill
