The o-ring should stick out as far as the original raised section that was dremeled off. Then add a thin shim, then outdrive bearing. To seal the diff cover, some RTV silicone. I have an extra diff that I'll be trying this on. But I'll wait to actually replace it until the existing diff goes out.

Can't remember exactly. The guy at the LHS said he remembered seeing it in some "Xtreme RC" mag (or something like that). He flipped through several mags before he found it.
