andrew Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 yo fook. ya diff is lookin pretty damn fine man. i degreased it and cleaned with diesel today and it came up pretty clean. my plan is to hit it with the wire wheel tuesday and maybe paint it black if i have some. then i'll fit up all the new brake gear an we will make the appropriate adjustments when in the car. i have two tailshafts to choose from. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted May 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Most excellent :P Have half cleaned up that bellhousing, looks a hell load better now. A couple of spots of "non-aluminium-silver-like-happiness" still but overall it's pretty clean. Will hit it with the scourer tonight and then maybe some metal polish to clean up the last few bits... Or maybe I'll just be happy with it as is :fuzz: Am going to dummy fit it to the dead gearbox i have and see how far off from "bolt up" it is.

Super Jamie Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 how did the swap go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 we could't get the axles out so we are changing the hole diff as the one i have is also a 4.3. i am half way throuhg cleaning and rebuilding the brakes on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 fook: the diff is ready to drop in. but you just need to get a rear seal for the cover plate. i have the oil for it. do you know where we are swapping it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Rear seal - can we just cut some gasket paper for it? Else I'll go to Supercheap or something and see if they have one. Not sure where we're swapping yet, haven't had a chance to speak to Rob. Am probably seeing him tonight though, picking up my gearbox :P :fuzz: :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 you can use just silicon, but it will eventually develop a slow leak, like maybe 2-3 drops a week, like mine is :P with borg warner diffs, its really easy to make a gasket because you can remove the backplate to trace around it, use thin thin gasket paper and permatex 3 to seal when nikki crashed rollie, it was still running the cornflake packet gasket i made on my driveway the day after my last birthday party, and i didnt think that had leaked either. cornflake packet is glossy on one side, it would leak after time (2 years?). you'd probably have more luck with say manilla folder, thin card or just a couple of sheets of A4 paper you can also get a new gasket from toyota, maybe even repco. it doesnt seem like something supercheap or autobarn would have on the shelf, but u never know :fuzz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 btw, if anyone needs a jap diff center gasket, i have one scanned full size in the oldcorollas yahoo group files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
