Diff Covers Install ? s / Tips
I got a set of riddler covers and had a few questions before I went ahead and installed them.
1.In the owners manual it says 80W-90 but on a few write ups I've seen 75W-90?
2.Should I let the RTV cure for a certian amount of time before I refill with oil? and how much in each front 30 and rear 44
3.Im thinking of using the stock drain plugs because they are magnetic?
Heres a pic of what they look like after paint

2) Screw the RTV and get the Lube Blockers from Northridge, worth every penny, reusable dry seal system similar to what most racecar engines have for their valve cover gaskets, metal inserted hight temp silicone covered top/bottom gaskets which were dry.
3) Don't bother because you only have fill plugs not drain plugs on Riddlers. Now I heard a couple of days ago Riddler is now making a newer version with Drain plugs along with fill plugs, not sure how true that is and sucks to hear now that I have my Riddlers installed
Oh yeah they look cool, nice details, they'll last till you hit some trails, rocks, mud, etc then might as well hit them with some black spray paint
