When you changed the seal, how good did you inspect the surface of the crankshaft where the seal rides?

The plate that holds the rear main seal in has to be re-liquid gasketed if you removed it.

The seal also has to be certain distance (w/o my manual...remembering something like .010-.020" )from the plate and not all the way flush. I hope you didnt just beat the thing in till it stopped.
