Better than a drug habit! (but no less addictive) |

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Dec 24 2010, 03:50 PM) ... you do not need the paper CV gaskets. They shrink and expand allowing for the bolts to come loose and fall out. Many have abandoned the gaskets, including myself, and now just bolt the CV on, clean the outer mating surface with solvent, and seal with RTV. Works good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I strongly disagree! The stock paper gaskets are the best way to prevent slinging grease onto the trunk floor, starter, etc. Expansion/contraction of the gaskets has absolutely nothing to do with the bolts loosening up. The CVs are designed with a space for the gasket, such that the CV is still bolted metal to metal. Correct torque and new Schnorr washers is the key. I've never used the bolts drilled for safety wire and probably never will. In my on-track experience, RTV will not hold up to the centrifugal force of a spinning axle, and will let go prematurely - allowing the grease out. No gasket at all is a sure way to dry out your CVs and to mess up the underside of your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

In my experience, high temp silicone has always worked. Never let me down.

How long do you have to wait to drive the car?
With gaskets its "torque and go". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

So far I have been happy with Greyhound, but in general I think all shipping companies are evil as I really don't think they care about service.

Correct on the safety wire. Regarding sourcing, I don't think any of the typical suppliers offer them as to the best of my knowledge these are standard bolts that are drilled by hand (using a jig or otherwise). As Dr. Evil says RJMII took over doing that once Dr. Evil stopped. I don't know if RJMII is still doing those or not. PM him to find out if you are interested in going that route. I plan to start offering them myself (along with regular style), but am not ready to do so just yet. Clearly, the stock setup works and has for decades, but the safety wire setup adds additional protection. Also as we talked about earlier, you should use new Schnorr washer on reassembly and new cap head bolts if yours are not in good condition. I will let Dr. Evil and Racer Chris fight it out over the CV gaskets! Personally I have never had issues with using the paper gaskets. But! I do agree with the point that both have made in their own way that if you are not metal to metal and not using good hardware when you torque the bolts, it's not going to work. Richard |
