N50 reassembly
Sorry if I missed it in the forum but I was wondering about a few things before I reassembly our 2010 N50. It was leaking too much oil so we changed out all grease and got it shiny clean and not replacing it with synthetic Super Lube as I don't want to do this again for a long time. It seems to work good in the KAs that used Darina #2. We are currently just waiting for our new shims to arrive so we can adjust the planetary gear mesh before reassembly.
The questions - this unit had a sealant between the transmission case and the motor. The sealant is very brittle and breaking off. I was wondering if I should just replace it with a thin layer of silicone sealant or will it be too hard to separate the case in the future? The manual says to soak the sleeve bearings in oil...I guess they are a porous bushing-since I am not replacing them will a few drops of oil on them be good? No wick on this one.
