Need Alternative to Gear Marking Compound
I'm setting my ring and pinion gears in the rear differential. Can't
seem to find gear marking compound at any of the local shops. Any good
substitute? I've heard maybe white lithium grease but may be too thick.
How about homemade recipies?

Re: Need Alternative to Gear Marking Compound
The "ancient" substance used to set up gears was white lead, but I haven't
seen it on parts store shelves in some time (haven't been looking for it
either, so....) I'd think you could get away with something like white
litium grrease, too, anything that would reveal the pattern.
