I was wondering if you are supposed to put permatex between the shims as well as between the gear housing and the input double bearing gear box? the manual calls for permatex #3 to be on each side of the gearbox and double bearing box, won't water get into the housing between the shims?
I know this would cause the shims to be a bit thicker

AQ series gear box. input section. yes, permatex #3 per the service manual.

the shimming requires you to test rolling torque
