Porsche 944 Rear Main Seal Adventure (Our 2nd Attempt)

Rear main seals on transaxle Porsches are famously unforgiving — and our first attempt proved it. Leak persisted, so back in we went for attempt number two.

This one covers what we believe went wrong the first time, how to inspect the crank flange and seal bore properly, and the installation details that actually make the difference between a dry bellhousing and doing the whole job twice. Ask us how we know.
