Of course, it will be a few weeks as when I pull it out I’ll swap the cam and bolt on the supercharger.

No, he wants you to take a picture of it when it shows up. Don’t give us this “ We’re waiting stuff.”
This thing is really nice, I like it a lot.
Thats a nice part. When mine dies ill have to upgrade to this
It wasn’t that bad priced either and cheaper than the alternatives that are glued together. This is fully welded so I feel much more confident in it.
Came home to a puddle under the truck almost passed the bumper… got pissed so the transfer case is almost out. For the life of me this never seals right. @r3dd0g this is what I’m up against.
Also the water pump gaskets decided to start leaking too, but I’m going to pretend I don’t see that one yet.

You sure the mating surfaces are flat?
Did you try the RightStuff?
I have put a straight edge on it and confirmed it is straight.
That’s what’s on it.
The water pump is easy. Ask me how I know lol
lol I know, I just don’t want to fix it then drain it a week later. This week it’s going to a show on Friday and then the cam swap happens.
Here is a better picture as to why it leaks. You can’t tell but back in there is a hole directly to the pan. Converter drains, overfills pan then comes up through the hole and sits against the right stuff gasket and eats it.
Also it says in the product features it’s resistant to atf…
It's eating through Right Stuff? Wow
Maybe try one of those anaerobic sealants certain manufacturers use for oil pans and the like. I think there's a Mopar or a Honda brand one most guys swear by. Perhaps someone knows what I'm talking about?
Also it's not leaking from the bolt threads is it? I forget are the holes blind on the tcase?

I have tried anaerobic on it as well, same results. No they are not blind they have holes. I also studded the tcase so it just has nuts on the outside.
I’m going to fill those gaps in the adapter housing and put right stuff on with a putty knife.
It looks like the case wasn't cleaned enough before applying the right stuff so it didn't stick well.Also it says in the product features it’s resistant to atf…
I don't believe ATF affects it
I used a wire brush attachment on my angle grinder to clean it and wiped it down with brake cleaner after.
Honestly it makes no sense to me.
If it was coming from the trans wouldn’t every auto that’s mated to a 241 do it?
Yes
I also raised the engine 1.5inches and I’m pretty sure the trans pan is flat when mounted but I can’t remember.
Go visit Ben at Engineered Vintage at Dinos when you go.
I have a 4l65e and 241 but don't have the leaking issues you have. Weird
