Not really. Still shaped the same as the thin factory cover for the most partLowers clearance?
Finally! Baby!
It's cast iron instead of the stock aluminum. Assuming the likely scenario that's it's nodular cast iron then:Much beefier.
It's cast iron instead of stock aluminum. Assuming the likely scenario that's it's nodular cast iron then:
- The material itself is about double the strength. The part then could be even more than double if it's thicker.
- It's coefficient of thermal expansion will match the axle itself, creating less stress on the gasket.
- It's thermal conductivity is worse than aluminum, but that could be offset by its greater mass.
Compliment accepted.
