SupraLEDrears Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Might just be the boost of my NA that drives the oil out [GRIN][/GRIN] Anyhow it keeps leaking near the cab onto the gearbox and both times I had it replaced with blueprint gaskets(Twin gaskets) and it only lasts about 6 months before it starts spitting oil out again and I've also noticed that sometimes it idles very low but not constantly, only spikes that feels as if it's gonna die. I don't know if this is related though. Anyone had the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are you over-tightening the cam covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Maybe the breathers are not working as they should causing pressure in the rocker covers Just a thought but I'm sure somebody more skilled than me will post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soops Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just a thought, your not over tightening the bolts are you. I know the torque setting for these are very low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If you or someone else has over tightened the bolts it's VERY VERY easy to crack the castings of the cam covers and they will then always weep oil. It can be hard to see a crack, but hot oil will have no trouble at all finding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks guys. Has anyone got the torque settings for them, then I can make sure my mechanic does it right next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
