Just asking, so that I'm not considered the thread jacker. Lots of good photos of the clutch and flywheel (I mean flywheels) install with mating of the trans to the engine. Photos on the engine harness and American Autowire set-up and installation...
Speaking of double parts I here you will have one less housing to worry about :unibrow:

I sure hope so Scott. I'm kinda done making predictions cause all my good 'friends' call me on it. How does the saying go, 'deadlines are made to be missed?' :lol:

Yes Payton we doubled up on them - center section and axle ends. Between that and the center vent I'm hoping we keep the gear oil where it should be. Probably a losing battle though...

Payton King 08-06-2012 09:24 AM

That should be fine
 
make sure you vent each tube between the seals and you should be fine. You should have a total of 3 vents.

Good point Payton.. We are currently machining a part to do this on my housings..

Brett- Doing a great job!

That's what I thought as well and requested. Speedway engineer said the axle vents were not needed based on this design. We'll find out soon enough...

Cris are you referring to the GMR housing? Do they run inner (center section) seals?

Payton King 08-06-2012 12:03 PM

Hey Chris
 
Sorry to miss you at Motor State.

Wish I knew the info first hand, but Randy Bell was having a problem with fluild pushing through the seals. The tube vents coupled with the center section vent fixed the problem...according to Ron's discussion with Randy.

I can steal information and ideas like no one else. LOL

Cris@JCG 08-06-2012 01:17 PM

If Speedway is good without it then you should be good.. but IMO you might blow the inner seals because you are creating pressure inside of those tubes.. & you might want to find a way to put set screws inside to retain the inner seals.. But that is what I think..

With all the issues that I have had with BB's rear-end.. I worked with Jason(GMR) on making my own housing the way I thought would work better.. Carrys more oil, Does not need inner axle seals but designed a way to keep the oil in the center section, & allows me a surface for my three link.. Last week Jason delivered three housings.. More to it.. but will show the end product later..
