Actually I bought the good oil but haven't physically put it in yet, Engine is empty right now trying to make sure all the gas is out. so I could get cheaper oil.
I did use the caliper grease on the threads very lightly and on the small slot end internal but did not put the missing thrust washer i was unaware of.
I will look at the teeth under a magnifying glass my eyes are really failing me.
I like your idea about getting a pump with the return line and plugging it for now.
how much zinc additive will i need with generic oil?
the log manifold gaskets i got at the parts store are metal, Do i use any sealer?
Does it make any sense to premix the rear end gear oil with the posi additive?
