Sparky Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Hey guys stripped the car today to find out where the leak was coming from.Turns out the seal on the end of the inlet camshaft (next to the timing pulley) wasnt seated tidy, would this cause the leak? Everywhere else seems pretty dry.Just need to know how far in the seal needs to sit and whether you would recommend using any sealer around it?A pic of how it should sit would be ideal Thanks Lewis Quote
rorenapier Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Bit of sealer wont do any harm.It can only really go in a certain distance, before it buts up against the cap. Quote
Pinkygti Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 It needs to go flush with the head, any deeper and the oil won't be able to drain away, use a large socket to GENTLY tap it in, smear some grease around and inside the seal too.Pinky. Quote
Sparky Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Flush with the cam cap you mean? Sorted, cheers guys Quote
Pinkygti Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Yup that's the one, bottom with the head and top with the cap Pinky Quote
