Excellent tips! But can you tell me how long do you put it for? Mine starts the make sparks like crazy after 2 minutes and it doesn’t get much hotter than 20 degrees over room temperature, which has proven insufficient head to make it fit. 😅😅😅😅😅

Great advice as I’m installing my Ford 9 and Dana 44 into the xj this week
clean bolts and bolt holes of machining oil.. with brake cleaner so the thread lock will have good metal surface to bit onto , not oil.
