Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) KDP fixed

[newtrout]

Just did my KDP. 1997 with about 130K. It was out 1/32nd maybe.

At our partys we do them all day.

I'm sure you do. Some people are curious how far out they are at the time of the fix. I'm just dropping some info for those who care.

I have seen them from just alittle to just hanging on the edge.

Have you ever wondered how your KDP Tab was doing after you were all done and have been running it for a couple of years?



I just had my gear cover off to reseal it, it had started to leak at the bottom. I just used high temp silicone this time instead of a gasket and used blue loctite on all the bolts. It's not leaking now. I also put in a new crank seal again although it was not leaking.



I was curious to see if my home fabricated KDP Tab was still doing it's job. It was and all the bolts inside were still tight. I did the KDP Tab fix about 2 years ago. I'm one of those guys that wonder if the tab is still OK since you can't see it after you do it. There were some early reports of tabs cracking that were made of hardened steel (mine is made of a fender washer). It put my mind at ease to see it all intact...

All of the report I've seen about broken tabs was when they were make from something brittle like saw blades.
