Do you need to pull the motor out of your 1970 Olds 442 to change the rear main seal?
I don't think so, I think they can change it with the motor in the car.
You could attempt this in car, but it's not the wisest idea. To do the rear main seal you need to have clearance around the crankshaft to put it in. This means unbolting the connecting rods and at least loosening all the mains. You also have to unbolt the trans. Then manipulating it in while under the car and working around everything is a nightmare. You would be miles ahead and get a lot better job if you just pull the engine.
How do you replace a thermostat on a 1977 442 Oldsmobile?
It's at the front of the engine, under the housing that holds the large upper radiator hose. Two bolts [1/2" socket size] and the smaller bypass hose must be unfastened. This is a good time to replace that short bit of bypass hose with new. Don't break the thermostat housing bolts off - if it requires too much torque, get help from an experienced mechanic. Sometimes, working back and forth with spray lube will remove stubborn fasteners.
Once the fasteners and bypass hose are free, tap the housing loose, and it should come right off, spilling a bit of coolant... unless you cleverly drained some out first at say the radiator drain cock.
Right there in the intake should be your thermostat, easy to pry out. Scrape away the old gasket remnants and put in the new 'stat, sensor end down in the engine of course. Form-a-gasket #2 [NOT SILICONE] makes a great sealer for the gasket AND THE BOLTS, which do pass thru into the coolant.
If you must replace the bolts, use the EXACT SAME LENGTH and/or stainless, so that they won't get rust buildup on the inside, which can prevent successful removal in the future.

What does 442 in olds cutlass stand for?
It varies by year. Originally, for the 1964 & 3/4 issue [seriously] vehicles, it was 4-speed, 4-bbl carb, and 2 exhausts... all 1964 models had the 4-speed manual trans, and the small 330 engine. There were even a few 4-dr models made [a "4442" ?] By the next year, however, auto trans and 400 CID big block was available, so "442" meant 400, 4-bbl, dual exhaust... The definition varied every year. In later years it was nothing more than an appearance package. The std issue in a 1972 442 was the 350 TWO BARREL.

Got your air con on? Are the revs dropping and climbing as the compressor kicks in and out?
I had this problem and although it didnt stall, it was pretty close - which is a problem in an automatic when you're sat at the lights in rush hour.
I had a new battery fitted and, once the new one was reconnected, the Engine Management computer seemed to reboot and to "learn" how to deal with the issue and it's fine now.
What is spark plug gap on 1992 2.3l mercury topaz?
According to one of Fords websites :
For a 1992 Mercury Topaz , 2.3 litre four cylinder engine :
( the spark plugs are gapped at .054 inch )
Answer:
The engine runs while starting because the spark plugs are getting electricity from the battery via the ignition coil and distributor. When the key leaves the start position to go back to the normal "run" position, the spark plugs must get their energy from the alternator. I would start with the alternator (probably the most common part to go bad), you can test it or remove it and take it to Advance Auto or one of the parts places and they can test it. If it is bad then replace, else put it back on. If your problem isn't fixed at this point then you will want to have it towed to a shop or buy a 68 Cutlass/442 shop manual from Ebay or fusick.com (if you want to learn how to fix this yourself). The next steps are a little more involved, checking the voltage regulator, alternator circuit, ignition switch etc. If it just started doing this one day, and you didnt do anything to it ;), then its probably 80-90% likely to be a bad alternator.

What does it mean if you find sawdust in your engine?
Not sure what you mean by "in the engine" - not sure Ive seen it in the oil before but I have seen it in transmission fluid. When it is in the transmission fluid its because the transmission is going bad and probably knocks really hard when shifting. Adding some sawdust quiets the shifting. This is frequently done by less than honest people to hide a transmission problem when they sell the car. I suppose if sawdust is in the crankcase oil then it could be done to try to silence major broken or warn parts (mains, rod, etc). Either way, it is not good, and is usually done to hide noisy broken or warn internal parts.
