Cam end cover leak!!!

(1/3) > >>

Hi All.  Don't know if anyone has any tips on this as its driving me mad!

I have a leak from both sides of the cam cover plates.  I've tried replacing the  O rings and even a little silicon, but nothing seems to be stopping it.

Any other ideas/recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

There needs to be a soft alloy sealing washer between the steel bracket that the end cap screws onto and the top cover as the oil can come out of the bolt hole

Try some PTFE tape

Bryanj:
PTFE  NEVER

What's wrong with it?  I use it all the time at work.
