New build and have her running on a test bed/rolling cart for engine/trans installation. All seems tight with the exception of the rear main area. Short of dis assembly or slathering the cam plug and oil gallery plugs with sealant, has anyone tried pressurizing the oil system and visually looking for a leak? Everything looks ok, but she drips every 4 or 5 seconds when running.
Thanks in advance |

Definitely use only the black Sabo RMS. Press in the seal until it's flush with the case, no deeper. I've seen some RMS that were not as thick and could be pressed in a little deeper. Here's some reading gowesty RMS article
I had a leaker kind of like that a few years ago, and the sealing surface on the back of the flywheel had enough of a groove to cause a leak. |

Never had and an issue with VR gasket sets but appears they can't get crank seals right,not just for T4 motors,the one I fitted to my 911t motor would have leaked as it was rather loose in the case,I just pushed it in by hand and naturally it went in too far. Pissed me off as I had to buy one in my country.....wait for it 89nzd with freight but at least it was a nice tight fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . |
