Anyone know where a guy can buy loctite 573 or equivalent

your local toyota store..... go to the parts dept and ask for a tube or 2 of F.I.P.G. best gasket in tube I have ever used, and what mr T used to keep the oil from seeping out from between the crankcase and oil pan 20 years and 200+ thousand miles ago on my FZJ 80

I agree with the sleeve-ster. There are much cheaper options out there in much larger guantities. I know locktite makes a similar product in a caulk gun tube that does the same thing. I cant remember the number, but a few years ago, an entire case cost 150.00

I remember when i lived in american samoa, tis was the "gasket material" we used for pretty much all non aviation related repairs

I need to pick me up some FIPG or hondabond someday... Currently burning through a bunch of $2 tubes of red permatex I bought forever ago. Also have a few TX'd tubes of various dow corning RTV, and ~20 tubes of TX'd PRC that will probably end up as seam sealer.

I think I've taught myself more about Circuits in the past day than I learned all term. Obviously indicates that I'm prepared for this exam tomorrow.

Trans rebuilds are a bitch. I’m currently putting a g260 back together. Diffs are far cheaper then trans thats for sure. The two bearings for trans are like 200 a piece and then snychros last i looked were 180.

yes, the tranny parts are really expensive. it seems there are no options for better prices either.

i have 2 g420's sitting in my shed. that trans is generally considered un-rebuildable, but since they came from non running cars, there wasn't any way to check them out other than shifting through the pattern. i figure one is just a potential mulligan.

Yea if anything is worn or ruined beside synchro’s and the bearings then its not rebuildable and you need to get a donor trans and hope it has the parts you need. My synchro’s were trashed buy surprisingly everything else was in good shape. They are a pain to split and reassemble.

Yeah I'm not sure where to get the parts from and the only place that Ive looked at for rebuild cost is drive gear and that is $2200 ish. If I could get the parts I might try the rebuild myself but not entirely confident in that.

I got all my parts from blunttech. I just studied the diagrams and got the part numbers and he had them sent over. Its not a projector for the faint of hart. It takes alot of special tools. You need a huge double adjustable 2 jaw puller. A heavy duty press and bearing splitter to get the gears off the main shaft to do synchros. Then you gotta have a way to get the cases really hot and bearings really cold so they will go in the cases. Its no doubt a bitch and takes 2 set of hands minimum most of the time. Especially when reinstalling the main shaft in the rear case. Cause someone has go hold the rear shift fork over the shift detents other wise they WILL pop out while you’re beating the rear case over the main shaft and if they do then you gotta pull it apart and start over. I had to do that atleast 3 times and finally got it in and have everything mostly done. I putting my shift forks and rods back in right now. And fighting the selector spring its a paint to get in.

That sounds fun. So basically if I don't have any of those things then it would probably make sense to send it out somewhere to get rebuilt?
