Default Re: Rear Main Seal - Help please

You need an exact measurement of the crankshaft journals. Shims can adjust for a few thousandths, but beyond that things get way off. Some babbitt guys will cut rods to fit on an exchange basis, but you have to know the exact dimensions.
No way to tell about the mains without inspecting them, but with the chip off now, and the apparent chip on the rod looking like a bonding failure as noted by Kurt in NJ, I would not trust it.
