BookspanS Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have a BRND NEW valve cover, and its still leaking all over my engine...any ideas on how to fis the problem?
BLHTAZ Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Looks more like the CCV valve spraying oil.That's what I was thinking too...
BookspanS Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 Thats what I thought as well, but my dad said that it shouldn't be a problem. So I guess I know my plans for tomorrow. Thanks guys for the help :cheers:
1987Comanche Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Are you using a gasket or RTV? Mine won't seal with a gasket because they missed a machining operation on the head back in '87. For whatever reason they never finish machined the mating surface between the valve cover and the head. It's just gray cast iron and so it's not smooth.
BookspanS Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 My dad did most of it for me back when I didn't know very much about workin on cars, but I think he used both, and I got the CCV valve to fix the problem :D . only problem is that the hose running for it is too short :mad: so i gotta get some new hoses for that later today.
