Quick rundown:
New to me XJ.
~36K on new crate engine.
It dropped at least 3 quarts of oil on the 300 mile drive home.
Possibly drops oil while engine is off.
1990 4.0 Non-HO.
So, I'm planning to change out the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, and whatever the seal on the front of the crankshaft is called. I'm also hitting the CCV/FAI hose grommets, and the valve cover gasket. New HV oil pump while I'm in there. Sealing it all up with Castrol GTX 10-30 on a Napa Gold (Wix) filter.
Sorry for the ignorant question, but could someone please tell me the technical name of that front main crank seal? I haven't found it, but I've found like three names for the rear main seal.
Anything else strongly recommended while I'm in there? Thanks.
