Plans have changed. A closer look indicates that the JB weld has seperated from the case and the area is leaking. Unfortunately, the collar has to come off but the JB weld is holding strong on the bond to the other parts of the bearing area. I don't want to use heat near the bearing and use of tools without marking the case are problematic. That combined with a call to the OPC where it's clear I won't be getting a pickup and redelivered engine has me starting the reseal process myself.

Thanks for all your help here. I will be back with reseal questions. Luckily I have two cars.
