Retro-gone. Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 ive got an oil leak from the camcover, apparently a common problem on pinto engines if not done properly?? mine is the wide rocker cover and the wide gasket is fitted, the only leak is at the back where it cant be seen, so should i blather it in silicone sealer? ive got a new gasket too.
Chris! Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Have you got the wide washer thingys fitted??
BIG G Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Is it done up to tight as this deforms them causing leaks
aden Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 check the gasket didnt move when you put the cover on the engine, sometimes when you tighten them down they have a tendancy to try and move
countrybumpkin Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 i've always fitted came cover gaskets with gasket goo on the cover then grease to the head, tighten them all down then run the engine then retightonce its cooled and not really had any leaks, as with all cork gasket tho they need to absorb some oil so they expand and compleatly seal
over_head_cam Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Is it a Ford gasket? Some of the pattern ones are crap and will leak whatever you do
