Re: Seals and Gaskets
AGH!!!
I bolted the tranfercase back in yesterday and found I didn’t have enough 80W-90 lying around. So this morning I was all excited to make a trip to the farm store to pick up some grade 8 bolts that I needed for the skid plate and buy a 2 gallon jug of Mystic gear oil only to pump it in and find it now leaks worse at the tcase to transmission adapter than it did before. Zoomad and I had the same problem with this thing 7 years ago when we swapped in the SM465. We had to tear it down twice that time too. Now that I am mad, things are going to be different this time so in a couple weeks when I have time to tear it back apart I am taking that stupid adapter to the cylinder head service place downtown to have it surfaced as I don’t think it is flat causing all of the sealing problems. I hate leaks!!
