maddzz1 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Are the oil galleys the same holes the rods go in? I have never had a valve cover off before and am putting a new gasket on tomorrow and will be doing any cleaning that is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oil typically flows through the push rods, but there are multiple oil passages in an engine. I am far from an internal engine expert and I am also unsure of why you are asking the question. A little more detail of the reason for the concern may help someone more knowlegable answer.

In another thread i read it said to make sure to block/cover the oil galleys before cleaning to prevent any gunk from falling down them and that if the head is really dirty to flush the galleys with oil.

BLHTAZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 OK... I just typically use a long handled razor scraper to just carefully clean any old silicone off. Never had a problem yet :cheers: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
