Well, instead of the paper gaskets i got "recomended" to use universal blue to stick my diff back together, but its not done the job even though i followed instructions. Its leaking from the end plates, the two plates that bolt on either side that the metal pot things go into.

you need the gaskets as this will effect the diff preload.
always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas |

Its leaking from the end plates, the two plates that bolt on either side that the metal pot things go into. Can i take them off without taking the engine out? What do you all use do you just use paper gaskets? is there some better gasket paste i should be using instead? Are you sure that it is not the oil seals on the output shaft/pot joint leaking? These can be changed easily, although you're working on your back. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

If it's leaking there I might guess that there's too much shinms in there. There's no reason why it should leak if not. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Is it possible to check the preload with the engine in the car? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I switched my diff, but but the same ammount of shims in there was one on one side and two on the other side, i was told to do that if i was using the same casing! maybe them and a combination of the thicker universal blue is why it leaked. i always learn the hard way! no its not the o ring seals they are new, you can see where its dripping from when the engines hot :( Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt
