Ok so I have had the rms replaced two times and it still leaks. The Mechanic who did the work said that the crank did have a groove in the rear, but he has seen worse and that it shouldn't be a problem. After the second time replacing the rms he took out the tranny and added UV solution to determine that it was in fact the rms. He said that it was the strangest thing he had seen. The rms would leak a few drops then stop and a few minutes later start again.
When I bought the jeep the previous owner said that the engine was rebuilt at 0.30 over but I'm not sure if they remachined the crank. If they did, this would affect the rms not sealing. My question is this:
Should I just replace the crankshaft with a new oem specs?
Should I replace the connecting rods when I replace the crankshaft?
Can I replace the the crankshaft without taking out the engine? I think I can just drop the pan and timing cover and get at the crankshaft? Is this correct?
The engine doesn't burn oil and the fact that it was just "rebuilt" (It only has like 15k miles on it after the rebuild) I don't really want to replace the entire engine and just want to replace the defective part. Thanks for the help. Any advice would be helpful.
