fendervg 32 Posted May 24, 2010 Hi all, Was doing some work on the C yesterday (93 VR) and noticed some very slight oil weepage on the driver's side of the block, just eblow where the side of the air filter box is. Looking carefully, there is a half moon shaped rubber seal in the side of the block just below the where the head sits, and this is leaking slightly. Is this a cam shaft seal ? Is it easy to replace - at first sight you could just use a reverse thread to pull it and then ease a new one in, but harsh experience has taught me that these jobs are never as easy as they first appear - in Haynes language, " always bring more spanners with you than is in the book for the job". Anyone got any ideas ? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted May 24, 2010 it is easy enough to replace once you have taken off the intake manifold and anything else that will stop you from taking off the cylinder head cover.It is one of the seals between the cyclinder head cover and the cylinder head. U'll want to replace all the clinder head/cam cover gaskets while your there along with the intake manifold gaskets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted May 24, 2010 As I thought - not as easy as it looks - ah well. I think I know what this part is now, having seen it before on the head cover seals for the MkII 1.8 engine - it's attached to one side of the head cover seal. Time to get ordering and get my hands dirty again. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
