i'm rebuilding my 83 slant and am thoroughly confused on how the rear main seal cap goes on and how to correctly seal the oil pan. Anyone provide some good pics??

It says in the article that the main seal retainer bolts are exposed to the outside.

You're not trying to rebuild your engine without a factory manual…are you?

Yup, you definitely want one. They're very cheap especially compared to the cost of redoing stuff later 'cause you didn't have proper specs and images the first time around. See this thread.
