About to pull the box from my 99 v6 grand vitara to do the rear main seal and clutch.

Are there any little mods or other maintenance I should do while it's out?

Thanks Sam

Drill holes in the baffles in the rocker cover, stops the oil getting sucked out the breather

Scrawn, do you think that may be the reason I have oil everywhere not the rear main seal?

No, it just causes the engine to burn oil.... smokey and chews through oil.

I'd replace rocker cover gaskets before rear main seal
