The garage was WELL below freezing. I put sealant between the block and the rear main cap next to the rear seal, as instructed. Will the sealant work given that it is somewhere between zero and 20 in the garage? IP: Logged

So take some extra time before you stress it (engine is probably out of the car so it's moot anyway). Cheers, Lonewolf BTW...Go round up some heat!!! IP: Logged
