what is a mini me swap?

Sorry, I know I am a dumbass, but I have been reading this forum a lot lately and just have no idea what a mini me swap is. I know most of you are helpful and I am just hoping you can let me know what it is.

Yeah, rear main seal has taken a **** on me, and i'm having a ticking coming from the timing belt area at startup...I think i'm just gonna suck it up and fix both of the problems...a complete rebuild is too much of a hassle.

BTW how hard is rear main seal because I might have to do it (I mean how hard it is after taking off the tranny and the flywheel because that takes an hour).

Easy...4 bolts holding the plate onto the block...pop the plate off then replace the seal...its like 15 mins max...kinda like an ISB replacement. The hardest part is taking the tranny off

How about you guys that scream search point him in the right direction. I'll be the first to tell somebody to search, but c'mon now. If you just tell them the "search y0" they might not be able to find it any better.
