Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
Changed my oil this past weekend and fixed my non-working oil temp gauge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The bad news is the dam taco plate is leaking oil now. Argggggggggggggggggggggggg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I had the engine sealed up nicely after the last oil change. The problem I made during the last oil change/sender install was I put sealant between the sender plate and the block. FYI the sender plate needs good contact with the block to work right (well at least mine does). Now I need to drain the oil and fix the leak and refill with new oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Does anyone have a good solution for this nasty leak? I assume some good high temp sealant and a paper gasket is what is needed. FYI the leak is not coming form the bolts. Oh yea, I picked up a sealed battery from SAMS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So someting did go right this weekend.

If it's synthetic, use a clean container and re-use the oil.....if it's dino oil....it ain't expensive.
Filters are cheap.....too. Why did you use a sealant? If it was OK before....clean it up and make sure the gland nut is tight. |

I used sealant before. Must have been just the right amount of sealant, time of day, temperature, lunar events, or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
