Re: Oil Leak
Sorry, I've been sooo busy. But I did figure things out just unable to get back to reply, then of. course I forgot all about it.
The problem was a couple of things.
First the valve cover gaskets weren't seating right.
They loosened i re tightened them then they leaked more.
So I removed them cleaned everything. Then I re torqued the heads.
Because I read in the service manual that they should be Re torqued every so often. Or when removed. Then adjusted valves again. Re installed valve covers. No more leak.
Also the rubber parts of the breather hose were wasted. So I replaced them and that stopped oil splatter on the Intake manifold.
Conclusion is that most oil leaks are gone. Just a drip now and then.
Tho I was unable to service the breather filter, but I'll try again this winter.
