OK. So if your differential casing is THAT HOT to MELT/DAMAGE a POLY =
mount, purely from radiant heat, generated by the gear set/differential =
type? You are in trouble! Poly is good for around 230F. It means that =
you must be running internal temperature around 300F or greater!

Synthetic fluid only and change regularly until you can fit an oil =
cooler.

Nope, no chance of the exhaust...or anything else that might be hot back =
there. The heat looked like it came from the diff cover out to the poly =
bush. The bush was melted the most on the back edge where the cover had =
the biggest mass next to the bushing.
And this is with a Detroit locker, no heat building clutches inside!

Some years ago, I tried a new 4.33 pinion and crownwheel : after a road
test, the differential housing was already very very hot. No way to race
with that. It was installed correctly and running quiet.Returning to the
original 4.1 pinion and crownwheel in the same casing and the same LSD
solved this problem. The temperature of the diff is a result of how much
heat is generated and how much heat is transferred to the air. Probably an
overheating diff can also be caused by too much heat that is generated? LSD
of course, but also the heat generated by the pinion and crownwheel because
of some fault of the parts or the installation.

Bill,
I didn't mean the noise when going from acceleration to overrun and vice
versa : this is caused by the clearance between pinion and crownwheel and I
agree that in a racecar this clearance should be wider than in a road car. I
did mean the noise caused by the teeth making contact and gliding over each
other : this should be quiet I believe.
Marcel.

Easy to do, the equation for crown wheel and pinion seems to be heat is
inversely proportional to noise. I get them centered as much as my patience
will permit and run twice the specified clearance. Don't remember what that
is. But i do remember the disaster I had running at spec. the oil was
smoking after just a few warmup laps. good thing it was a test and tune day.
