Got the car running tip top.
Replaced coil,plugs.injectors,old rubber hoses,etc. Now I am down to my biggest remaining problem:Oil Leaks. When I had the car in to shop getting fucked up,they told me these were the areas that had leaks. Rear Main seal. Oil leaking from head(cylinder seal),I am assuming head gasket. Differential side seals.(Probably NOT RELATED???). The car is running great,but it is loosing a lot of oil through these leaks. Questions: 1.Can I fix these thing without removing the engine???(This is the last thing I want to do). 2. Where do I start. Thanks for any suggestions. Grant. |

The old-school fix for the gallery plugs is to goop JB Weld over them before they leak. That helps keep them in place and greatly reduces the chances of a leak or a blowout. (Odds of that are pretty low anyway, but it only takes once...)
Threading for plugs is best done when the engine is apart, so you can clean out any shavings you create. I know very careful people have managed to thread the bores without leaving any chips or shavings, but I'd rather not take the risk. (Again, it only has to happen once.) --DD |
