Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

Often, we never hear how things turned out for the originator of a thread so I thought I'd report back.
It's been 36 hours now since I removed the bolts on at a time, cleaned the female threads and...

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

The bolts fit your description but I'm by no means certain they are original. It's a slow process but I'm removing them one by one, cleaning out the female threads with Carby cleaner, cleaning the...

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

Thanks for the info. That looks nothing like what I saw at Burson's labelled as Permatex #2 but I note that the instructions say that the surfaces should be thoroughly clean before...

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

That was the first thing I did - 35 ftlb. Sorry I didn't mention it but I agree, first things first

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

That makes more sense than what I saw. The #2 I saw was definately silicone. Maybe things arew marketed differently here. I haven't seen what you call #2, only #3

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

Well, I've done the rounds of suppliers and not come up with anything. Every product I looked at, including Loctite 515 and Prmatex #2 (which is just another silicone) says the parts should be clean...

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

What is Ultra Black???? Probably like that Indian Head stuff at $70 a tube by the time it gets here. Does Permatex Higfh Tack work on oily threads or must the surfaces be squeaky clean?

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

Re: Diff leaking around the bolts

Thanks for the replies so far guys. I am aware that the gaskets set the peload on the carrier bearings and if one os so munched up that I have to replace it, I'd do so with one of the same thickness....

Diff leaking around the bolts

We've just returned from our National Model A rally. Over 1500 miles and the car didn't miss a beat. Averaging about 80 kph (50 mph) on the open road, it returned 23 mpg (that's about 18.5 to the US...
