Jpich85 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I've noticed a small oil seepage coming from the corner of the head, it's not leaking but it's always a little oily so some must be coming through, I've tried to show in the picture, just wanted to see if anyone would recommend I change the gasket? It's fairly new and I've only done 500 miles on it since the engine was built two years ago. My dad said to re torque the bolts that attach the head to the engine? Just wanted to ask on here to see if anyone could help. Cheers Quote
Fazz711 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Was it retourqued after first fit? If not should have been. Probably worth doing before trying new gasket 2 Quote
Jpich85 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 No I don't think it was retourqed fazz :-( I think I learnt a lesson there, I think I'll try tourqing it up first them. Would you recommend replacing the rubber camcover gaskets when I take it off or do you think re using them will be ok? Will the cams have to come out? I can't remember if any of the bolts are hidden by them. Thanks Quote
badgerkdd Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I'd say no.....( re use, no problem) and yes..... 1 Quote
Fazz711 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Most rubber gaskets can be reused if they are undamaged. 1 Quote
