Very nice mate, :)
|
Cheers it is nice looking.
It has started to develop a series of oil leaks though.It looks like it is leaking from the oil cooler sandwhich plate and somewhere between the head and the bottom end. Not good, I had forgotten that saxos break. |

Need to rip the cam covers off mine soonish and see whats goin on |
Epic failure, I tried resealing the cam covers yesterday to stop the oil leak and iv made it quite a bit worse. Took it out for a run, smoke and oil everywhere,wouldnt be suprised if theres none left tbh.
Im assuming I bought the wrong stuff. Any advice would be great. |
Speak to Willsy......think he had the lip on his rockers machined down, to make them seal better.
|
Like simon says have a word with Matt!
|
How did you *attempt* to seal them?
When you take them off, make sure all the left over sealent is taken off the cam ladders and the bottom of the cam covers. Use some fine wet and dry paper or whatever, to make the surface nice and smooth and clean. You can get a gasket sealent from Halfrauds. Just make sure it's one that works up to a decent temperature, but 99% will be fine as that area doesn't get really hot. Probably no hotter than 170c at a guess... Make sure you put more oil in before turning the engine over!!! |
That not good matey.
I hadn;t seen what that sealent was before you showed me it, assumed was the right thing. I used a copper silicone sealent when i did mine by loctite, as mentioed some people grind the lugs down a little but i didnt need to myself |
thats a shitter
i used a whole tube of loctite gaskket sealer on mine and it still leaked lol still leaking slightly now but nothing bad |
Nice one Dan :D Havent seen the thread unitll now :)

Yea less of a leak but still means iv got to take the cover off again and seal it etc.so going to do that at the weekend as I can't be arsed now.if that doesn't work I will buy c2 rockers.if that doesn't work then it will be in the for sale section.

Check your local scrappies. I think some engines fitted to the 307 have the same rockers?
