 When replacing the rear main crank seal housing back onto the engine, EXTREME care must be used to ensure one of the fingers(usually at 5 or 7 o'clock) do not get in between the two mating surfaces, or leaking engine oil is guaranteed.
You could make 2 "long" 6mmx1.0 pitch studs(cut the head off) to align the housing to the engine block or CAREFULLY install the housing while looking up from below to be SURE the fingers/oil slinger has not rotated(very easy to happen) while installing.
One picture is a close up of where a finger(7 o'clock) has been sandwiched.
