Thanks. Your right. After I blew it I conteplated sealing it anyways. Well impatient as I was I wouldn't get to try it out it I did. I'll pull the engine and seal it anyways. Will not hurt anyways to do it.

I need a new bulk head. The place the bearings ride got worn out when a bearing blew. It may of even came with the blown bearing. I tried to patch it and got the bearing to fit nice and tight in the spot they ride. But it didn't hold. I knew it wouldn't but gave it a try. I did get the diff shimmed real nice though. Took me better part of an hour to get it shimmed the way it should. Would probably been less time if I didn't have to open up a bunch of other differentials looking for shims to use. No side to side play and meshed with the bevel gear perferct. My best shim job to date. I am sure if the bulk wasn't messed up it would of lasted a long time. My aluminum tape didn't hold out that I used to increase the bearing size to fit in the worn out bulkhead. Patience is tough when you got a new toy and no one in town has the parts. I got a bulk head ordered and will do it again. This time it will hold up for a lot longer. I hope.

Any recommendation on where to start off with on the settings. Should I leave the lsn at the factory 3.75 and lean out the hsn or vice versa?
