suprasurrey Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That looks like a cam cover bolt to me, they do become slack over time. I would remove the spark plug plastic cover and check all of the cam cover bolts on both sides of the engine. Ideally these should be torqued to the correct figure as stated in the manual.

Big Mark Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Cam cover bolt? Think they shuld be torqued up to 5Nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 DO NOT over tighten past 5nm, you'll crack the cover, then you're screwed. Looks like you've got some oil there, as mentioned, remove them both, change the seals and retorque up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
