How long does the rear main seal take to do?


Not sure if I have the time available on my day off. Does $295 for just labor and I supply materials sound like a good price for a shop.

Edit:

90 2 dr Xj 1-2" lift in the front no lift rear.

It's gonna ride like a boat, take it easy. But it's easy to install bar pins with a socket and a vise.

It feels like I'm getting a slight miss inn my idle ONLY while the engine is warming up. No CEL to speak of. I just can feel it and also watch the tach flutter. It runs like butter when it's warmed up. She sits at 20hg of vacuum at idle. Any ideas? O2 sensors?

This is a 00. TB and sensors have been cleaned, not replaced.

i would check the o2 sensor, mine does the same thing when its really cold out and the mixture is different day to day (atleast i have to press on the pedal more somedays).

Is there supposed to be a gasket in the oil filter housing or no?
I had to mutilate my last oil filter to get it off and didn't pay attention to see if the gasket on it came off.

Changing my oil now and when I got the old filter off the gasket pictured came with it...

Well I took the carpet out and what do you know hardly any rust. Its dark now but I managed to rough up the front floors. Is it okay if I roll the bedliner over the silver found deadener things?

Take all that rust down to bare metal before you coat it

I got chassis saver. So I can coat right over the surface rust.
