Had a Oil leak all down the head/block front. So I replaced cam seals and timing belt, checked again still oil down the front but the not 100% it's the seals is it possible that the ball bearings under the cam can leak that block the oil gallery's leak ?

If these are the problem how do you fix them ?post-92288-1439735631125_thumb.jpg

Wipe, start test and watch.

Quite often the leak can come from around the cam cap parting line too.

When and if ordering new cam seals, they should be the same part as the oil pump seals, they are all the same.

Just a quick note, the gasket under your cam cover looks broken in the pic just where it passes over the cap.

You should always use a bit of silicon in the corners and over the top of the cap on the gasket as they are known areas that are difficult to seal and leak.

Cheers I'll take time sealing them on the rebuild. The oil had pooled up in the recess where the ball bearing is. So that is my reason for thinking is it possible to leak from them ?

I've pulled out the engine to freshen up bearings gaskets,seals ect. So I'll just have to wait once I put it back in midweek to check if it's sealed.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
