HI guys, I just finished rebuilding a mostly stock 1.7 engine. After I was done tuning the carbs and setting timing I noticed I had an oil leek at the base of the head/top of the cylinder??? I was confused on how oil could even make it there anyway; So my thought was pull the valve cover and re-torque the head bolts with the thought that the oil could be passing by there. When I pulled the valve cover I notice it wasn't very wet in there. how much oil should the heads be getting while it is running. I did start the engine with the valve cover off and it does get some oil from the push rods... just doesn't seem like a lot.
Thanks William |
