i did some deep wading last year and recently i havnt been using my syncro quite as often as maybe i should, and the starter sh*t itself. i stripped the starter to find the thing full of silt n crap.
do i either silicon seal everything or...
do i drill a couple of holes in the rear case to allow the water and silt etc to drain out?

answers and advice please!

factory seemed to go heavy on the sealant into the gaps on the solenoid and on case face
