SO after doing a major Eng service & re-seal got the car back together & upon installing
the eng bay shift rod look up & see...a drip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After inspection looks like the front oil galley plug. Considering replacement "in-car". Anyone BTDT? |

So.. faced with engine R&R ..again, I thought this was worth a try.
Its interesting that after YEARS of owning & working on these cars I still find things I've never tried. Droppd the bar removed the heater ducting on the drivers side & the motor mount to get at the bugger. Sure enough if there was ever any sealant on it, it was gone now. Also interesting that not all motors use that metric threaded plug in this location. It took a couple of days for the 1st drip to show (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Before/After Attached image(s)
