Tips:
When you want to paint and it is 19 degrees F out throw the part in the grill for a while so it gets hot. Then paint it while stilll hot. Then throw it back in to bake and turn off the grill so it slow cools. I used this to paint both my diffs and they came out good. They look real light in the pics because i drove threw some snow.
Let your gaskets soak in marvelle mystery oil before installing. Thius will help them seal up fast. Only works on oil seals but has worked great fo me so far.
Interesting finds......
The 12 bolt cover was brazed at one time. maybe a rock puncture??? It had no fluid in it but All seemed fine and I think it slowly leaked out from sitting. I used some RTV in that area to ensure it would not leak.
