I'll just throw this out there. Another issue with rear main seals is blow-by. Seems to me when increasing H/P on these engines and higher rpm's tends to create more pressure in the crankcase. I've seem oil dipstick pushed out more than once. I guess making sure your PCV system is in good working order. Or running a vacuum pump in the case of higher H/P, Torque and RPM's. Just saying. I'm hoping it's all works out good for you also Tim.
