The 722.9 Mercedes awd transfer case was put together with basically no sealant, some hard stuff that didn't work. The thought was that the surfaces were machines perfectly, sealant wasn't really important. They leaked, and we glued them back together with the normal engine sealant (similar to this "Threebond" stuff). Then cars started showing up with black sealant and no leaks. This stuff make a very fine film between two closely matched parts. It's not blue RTV for gluing a thermostat on a '72 Ford pickup. |

I don't think there has been a single definite case where they have made anybody pay. There were a couple where they played the game but I don't think they have been resolved one way or the other yet. All the rest just got it replaced with no hassle. Total pain in the ass to the individuals but not even a blip in the company's overall business plan.

As already pointed out a prefab gasket wouldn’t be reliable on this engine due to the gazillion different surfaces that intersect. Even the FIPG fails on the bottom right of the timing cover because there are so many intersecting parts in that spot. |
