Topic: BKM for sealing transfer cases?

[MiniSimp]

What do you guys do for a perfect transfer case seal?

I have the Marlin Gasket & seal set ready to go, but do I use that alone? Or add some type of RTV in addition to that?

The first time I used only gaskets, that didn't work very well....

I have used Ultra Grey...it worked OK.  Then I used permatex Anaerobic Sealer and the primer that goes with it.  Spendy, and better, but still leaks.  Maybe it would work better out of the truck with time to cure.


edit: BTW, what is BKM?

I use Permatex High Temp RTV (the Orange) and it doesnt leak at all. If not I used The Right Stuff last time and it didnt leak either. The first time i had the MCI gasket and the second i only used the RTV

Do you let it cure first, or put them together wet?

Wet

If you were asking that b/c of what I posted, I meant it as time to cure (bolted together) before adding oil and running it.

I like using Permatex Ultra Blue silicone but where I work now we don't use it. Lately I have been using 3M Aerospace grade grey silicone & I have never had a problem
