Last time I rebuilt my engine and gearbox I used a Loctite sealant. I forget which number but I researched my options before selecting that particular sealant.
I used the sealant without gaskets on the differential case/gearbox interface and the pivot pin for the lever rods. Unfortunately the gearbox leaked from these location from day one. I assume it was either a bad batch or a poor fake as the surfaces were flat and scrupulously cleaned before assembly.
Everything is in pieces at the moment for a rebuild but I will be needing a sealant soon. Are there any recommendations for a sealant that will be suitable for this application?
I'm aiming for a 100% oil tight A Series this time.
Well, for a while at least.
