      Thanks man yours as well. I've had my eye on your build all the way through and it's been impressive and you've made great time on it as well.

      Thanks , I was concerned about enough pop with no black up front. I'm thinking about making another grille of the same mesh and painting it black so I can compare, or maybe even paint the fiberglass surround black andeave the grille aluminum.

      Alignment

      Working on the alignment now. I got the toe set a 3/32 toe in and the Camber at 1/2 degree negative. Now I just got to line up the Caster to 4-4.5 positive. Using Speedtech subframe recommended settingsName:  IMG_20220920_195537.jpg

      Do you know what scrub radius you have? From the look of the wheels, it looks like you wanted to keep it low.

      9" leaks

      So my Speedtech torque arm rear end 9" leaked at both ends. Mine had the roller outer sealed bearings. So I decided to re engineer a little. So I installed the winters performance #2842 gold billet aluminum axle tube seals to keep the oil in the center section. I then drilled and tapped 1/8"-27 holes in the ends of the tubes between where the original inner axle seals went and the sealed roller bearing. I installed a 90 grease fitting here right on top. So I then installed the original national axle tube seal, and then removed the inner plastic seal on the roller bearing so it will receive the grease. So my grease fitting puts grease in between the original style tube seal and the now open side of the roller bearing.
      It's .625 cavity there.
      I'm now keeping oil in the center and greasable outers separate by the two styles axle tube seals.

      I'm sure you know this but if you over lube a bearing, it will overheat and fail. I fought a leaky bearing as you did. I replaced the oring numerous times. Only by accident did I pull on the axle flange and find out there was slack in the bearing. It was starting to fail. After replacing the bearing, the leak went away. In my purchases of new bearings in the last 15 years, I'm right at a 20% failure rate. New parts make me nervous anymore. Some brands are worse than others but none are like it was when I was young.

      Yes
      Lip seals can fail typically around 500psi. Trick is don't over lubricate. Good thing in my design if I pump just a little bit much it will pass the lip seals and merely get on the dry zone of my axle. Once a year a few pumps will be sufficient but I do have a pressure gauge setup on my battery powered grease guns for certain applications.
      To prove just how strong grease under pressure is with a cup seal we tighten tracks on dozers and all track machine we own with grease. But the cup is pointing towards the grease fitting. In this car application the cup points the other way towards the oil end or center section to keep oil out of the grease. Thus even lowering the pressure it would take to bypass the seal.
      Case in point your correct.
      But I have considered this and engineered my design around your line of thought along with several others.

      Nuke performance catch cans

      Well I started with one nuke performance catch can, and excellent excellent quality. But I had valve covers and valley cover both plumbed into it. Then I separated the valley cover and just looped it back like factory. Then I decided to add a second so the valve covers and the valley cover pcv had its own.
      Again if anyone wants some very nice billet catch cans, nuke performance has race cans, performance cans, and even carbon fiber cans.Name:  IMG_20221128_185142.jpg

      Having spent a 28 year career in bearings.....

      Your relubrication feature should work fine. One challenge with the design is the cavity space on the lubrication entry side is quite large vs. the void space in the bearing. There are a ton of variables here, but.....

      1) Due to the design of the inboard seal vs. the outboard seal of the bearing, grease is going to tend to work outboard. Most of the axle seal designs are a double opposing lip design, whereas the seal on the bearing will easily deflect outboard and allow grease to purge. This is normal and often expected on sealed type bearings. It's going to purge what it does not want.

      2) Though over-lubrication is often a serious problem, it typically occurs when the dN (rolling element pitch diameter * RPM) is high. A drive axle is a relatively slow application, and likely excessive grease will purge before an overheat condition occurs.

      What can be done that is quite effective is to fill the bearing full of grease, and then fill the cavity space about 50% full/about to the axle bottom of grease. Excess from the bearings will purge inboard. There will be 50X+ more grease in the cavity than what the bearing comes with from the manufacturer. As speed and heat dictate, fresh grease will flow into the bearing. In a bearing that size there's likely 3-4cc's as the standard fill volume. In other words, no need to ever re-lubricate unless the axle is removed. Then everything should be cleaned and re-lubricated. The same basics can be applied to a stock front hub with double tapered roller bearings (fill the hub 1/2 full).

      That's awesome insight to a seemingly simple setup. I appreciate the explanation and I love to learn. I definitely have with your reply.
