Oil leak

Bru · 03-23-2015, 04:32 AM

Just do a google search for no. 3 cylinder cover. Prices are $46 - $48 for a new one with its plastic coating over the metal. The plastic coating tends to degrade over time. You will need a Hex socket to remove the 3 plugs. Harbor Freight has a good set for cheap. I think its a 14mm. I always add a bit of Permatex Black Ultra silicone to the threads of the hole and the plug before laying the no. 3 cylinder cover on. Tighten it down securely. This tends to be a leak problem area as are the valve cover gaskets where I use Black Ultra as well. I can offer you a used no. 3 cylinder cover without the plastic coating painted black for $10 plus $7 shipping. Just send me a private message.

Thanks for the help. I found that the oil leak was coming from the cam seals. As far as the #3 cylinder plastic cover. It doesn't seem to be there. Maybe the previous owner removed it because it got corroded. If you can please send me your email address or website, so we can discuss that cover you offered me. Again, thank you for the advise.
