ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Still leaking oil

    My car was leaking oil into one of the spark plugs, so i changed out the valve cover gasket and o rings, and a month later, now its leaking again?

    And its leaking only in the one that was leaking in before i replaced all of the o rings.
    Did I just put the O rings in wrong or what?

    Did you replace the upper AND lower o-rings?

    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      im not sure i only replaced the ones that you can get to by removing the valve cover which im assuming is the upper o rings.

      how do i get to the lower o rings?

        Remove the rocker gear, there are 4 o-rings under the assembly.

              If you could give me the link that would be perfect.
              It doesnt look too hard.

              It looks like the only hard part would be tightening the bolts in order
              lol.

              But ive never done this before so Id rather watch a video of someone doing it correctly before i try messing with it.
