Still working on my son's '74 2.0. Replaced the oil cooler seals with the motor in the car, put the heat shields back but not the heating system and drove it maybe 25 miles.
We have fresh oil on the shield coming down from the #4 cylinder area. I was figuring the pushrod tube seals were gone, and there is some evidence of that, but it almost seems like there is oil coming from above the pushrod tubes. My thought is I screwed up the oil cooler seals, or the oil cooler is bad, or there is something I don't know about on this corner of the motor that can leak. New valve cover gaskets are good. Any ideas? Just about ready to pull the motor to find out. If we go that far, we will replace the oil cooler just in case, but looking for clues. TIA- Rob |

I was wondering about the cylinder bases. There’s no pressurized oil but the crankcase oil can just leak around the base? |
