I set my MFactory up myself and have enjoyed the way it engages and reacts. I also had all the plates WPC treated before putting it all together. |

As a general rule, if it's not slipping, it's not creating heat. |

Did you notice any overheating without the GReddy diff cover? Or was it precautionary? |

Quick update -
I did my first track day with the cover and temp gauge. I saw temps up to ~205F. On the highway up the temperature was between 150-160F. To give you an idea of my setup as well, I was out on the track for 30 minutes with slicks (245 40R17 continentals) and I was on this track - http://highplainsraceway.com/ Overall I think it's within the limits of the fluid (currently running Torco RTF). I'll probably still take @ATL BRZ advice and switch to Miller Oils for Engine/Tranny/Diff. I'll add it to the never ending list... |

Does the diff cover have a gasket or did you use a tube of something? Does the diff need to be fully removed to install the new cover? |

Diff covers don't use pre-made gaskets, you use RTV or some other liquid gasket material and no, you don't have to remove the differential to replace the cover, if you're referring to the carrier itself, then I would say yes, it's a good idea to remove it from the car to replace the cover, otherwise it'll be super hard to get the cover off and get sealant where it needs to be.

As others have stated on here before though, if you are going to take the carrier off, be really careful with the 2 bolts that face upward! They cross thread very easily.. I've had mine off many times and I cross threaded it once. Had to buy a tap in that size and clean up the threads along with a new bolt.
