Ratech "Smart Sleeve" and Reuseable 10 bolt gasket
Poking around on the net last night and found a couple cool things.
Ratech has a "Smart Sleeve" to replace your crush collar in the rear. Only uses around 135-150 ft. lbs. to crush it as to 300-400 ft. lbs. with a normal sleeve. Looks very well made and should crush "evenly". I'm thinking of giving one a shot. Only about $15 shipped. http://www.ratechmfg.com/smart%20sleeve.htm
Second item I found at Ratech is a re-useable cover gasket for our 10 bolts. Has good reviews on the net. Sure will beat scraping the old gasket off. I'm a big fan of the re-useable tranny and oil pan gaskets. Real headache saver and they seal great!! http://www.ratechmfg.com/regasket.htm
Just some cool stuff to take a look at.

BTW, no re-useable gasket if your running a "girdle" cover. Just silicone on girdles. You need the cover to be rigid for extra strength. Just fyi.
