good luck! I think it's a go...
Thanks. Since I'm able to get at it for another few days, reason is to replace the rear main seal. I suspect any oil I see is from above per the other sad-seal tales on your pages, but got the part, drained the oil (worth it for that, ha)

Flywheel might need some cleaning up too, is looking rough now from being naked so long in the weather. Might still be some bread in the pilot place too. (that sure worked the charm)
Pilot bearing that came with the clutch kit felt cheaper than cheap, so I ordered a (claimed to be) Koyo from Napa, pick-up tomorrow. Won't matter given the state of my input shaft, but maybe it will spin a while longer.

Likely is so (though below the seal behind the flywheel looks horrible…not removed yet however to know for sure). Wish it was prettier than that up top.
Aside from a cleanup last timing belt when I also replaced valve cover gasket, has looked like that almost the whole time I've owned the car.
