Hi all,
Funny no one have ever brought up the problem of waterproofing the central diff -or have I missed a thread?-. My H8 rocks, but my only problem is sand and tiny pebbles getting into the diff and smashing the teeths of the central wheel.
Has anyone encountered that problem? Has anyone found a solution?
I know mechanics use a kind of plastic paste to create new washers from scratch when rebuilding an old engine for which original washers are no longer available -tipically for a washer that goes between two parts of the gearbox casing for example-. The paste solidifies after a few minutes and becomes a washer.
I'm thinking about using that stuff to waterproof my central diff but I wasn't able to locate it on the Net. Anyone who is into classic cars or bikes know where to find the stuff?
Thanks!
