I have a sizeable drip going. (driver side)
I put the new slghtly oversized cork valve gaskets under the covers. I used a tiny bit of ?forgot name? gasket seal to hold while putting in place (four corners). One side is fine. no leak (passenger side) I think the driver side is fine also concering the cork seal and the cover. It seems the leak is coming from the round pipes going into the valve adjustment area where you set the valves (from back side where the cover goes). Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a drop engine repair? (hope not) I have a spare set of cork seals and could try another round, but do not think this is the problem. Oil hits the exhaust then runs downhill and drips at two spots.... real bummer... Smoke and nasty smell.... |
