Does not always play well with others
I have been trying to find gear marking compound to check the GTCP (gear tooth contact pattern) on a diff I have that needs a new pinion bearing so that I can reuse the gears and not have any problems down the line. None of the parts store carry the good old yellow marking grease and I did not feel like placing an on line order and I do not like Prussian Blue so I improvised. BUTT PASTE to the rescue!!.
I used some Boudreaux's Butt Paste and a little bit of chalk box chalk ( the kind that is used in construction). You can use any of the diaper rash creams that are zinc based ( Desitin, Burt's Bee's etc) find one that is higher in zinc and thick for best results. You can also use powdered food dye to color the Butt Paste if you have that around.
The chalk comes in a lot of different colors so you get to make your own custom color for setting up differential GTCP's. The best thing about this is it cost me $0/zip/nada. I had the chalk and the wife had some Butt Paste left over from one of the **** monkey's. You can use the paste with out any coloring if you want just make sure that you use the thicker Butt paste Or if it is a little thin add some chalk to thicken it up.
