Well i pulled my motor out to get it ready for the single setup, but i need to fix the oil leak while the motor is out of the car. The leak is coming from the front cover. It doesnt look hard at all to pull the cover and fix the leak, but i heard somthing about a bearing that can fall if you dont keep the flywheel from spinning??

If anybody knows more about this please let me know

so you mean, set the motor in a vertical like position with the front cover facing up and it should be ok??

The only problem with that is i have the engine stant connected to the back. But im sure i could figure somthing out.

Yes, the front cover needs to be parallel to the ground, facing up.
Unless you really like the incredibly daunting task of picking up 40 little needle bearings.... ....and then trying to get them back in!
