If you clean it really well..use brake clean or laquer thinner then ispropanol as the final wipe you will get a nice bond..if you can resist over torquing the seal youll be able to take the cover on and off a few times before a do-over.. its handy for vehicles that need regular lash adjustments...

If i use a gasket adhesive i usually glue it to the valve cover..makes it a lot easier to chip off 10 years later and there is no chance of sending debris down into oil drainback passages.

Well..the boat is still drying in the dock..both cpp hubs off and in the shop,one rudder down, one shaft out and in the shop. I may have a day off by the end of the month..if i get lucky. Dreaming of working on stuff with wheels..and o.d. paint

The view from my office, well its not really an office..its the south end of the drydock, my home away from home, away from home. Looking toward the downtown core of Vancouver.

Unfortunately not yet..back to back ferry repairs are eating all my time..may have some time to play around the 15th of june or so..

Thank you very very much..when you get it off could you please put the tape across the widest part of the bellhousing? I need the width as well. Probably the flywheelhousing side including the starter bump. :beer::beer:

I have 2 7041 aux transmissions in trucks i can measure for you if you want to know..they are big and you would need another jack shaft to the main trans. I would say there isnt enough realestate between the engine and tcase to do it. Does anyone have an exact length for the hyrdamatic handy?

All will be revealed once i yank the power pak ... 8-p

I have 2 trucks with 5&4 transmission setups..its not as cool as it sounds.. the synchonizers will block you out of a shift if you try and do the wrong thing..you loose momentumn..and you start again from the basement. The other issue with stacking transmissions is torque multiplication. The...

The skf and rolls royce reps i work with vulcanize lip seals from cut to size stock. They use high tech epoxies and a heated press die. Maybe give the SKF marine division a call and see what they have. Then all you would need is a seal housing. Rolls royce also used the hydramatic under licence...

More reading suggests that sulphur ep additives attack copper in the alloy creating copper sulphide and under ep conditions create copper disuphide which is very hard and acts as an abrasive accellerating wear (and heat i would immagine). Heat compounds the reaction doubling the rate for every...

Ok thats interesting..heat activated chemical attack..i will definately see what i can find to read when i have time. Thanks for chipping in.

Input shaft sliding gear modification Good news..i got the sliding gear back from the machinist today..he did a beautiful job. He said it was hard as glass..and advised to take it to someone with skill and to not rush or things will go sideways. So as stated in an earlier post we knocked off...
