Afternoon all,I've tried using RTV sealent and its still leaking, I saw a post along time ago about philipm making some, did this happen? I've managed to get the old seal of in 1 piece, so I'm going to try and re-use that with some RTV and see if that works. If not, I'll buy a sheet of FDM or similar and cut my own. Has anyone got a acad drawing of the head? What type of sealent do you guys use? Any info would be good! |

I brought a new cam cover (of here) powder coated, but it had no seal.Took my old cam cover off the engine and and fitted the new one with RTV. This did not work, so now I've removed the seal from the old cover and am going to re-fit it to the new cam cover with some RTV and see if that works. |
