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.

    Leaking issue

    Anyone have an issue of leaks coming back a short time after they have been replaced. (oil-pan gasket)

    Yes but there's always a reason:

    1 - Unclean gasket surface (did you remove all traces of old gasket and grime before installing a new gasket?)
    2 - Damaged sealing surface (did you gouge the sealing surface with a scraper when trying to clean it?)
    3 - Incorrect torque value. Note that more is not always better in this case. Sometimes overtorquing a gasket will cause it to fail and leak.

    For what it's worth, I replaced my oil pan gasket and it weeps a little bit still. Probably scratched the mating surface.

      There's also a torque pattern for pan gasket R&R. Get some Hondabond, and do it by the book.

        I had one early in my CB7 career that a dealer replaced and left one of the metal spacers from the old gasket on the stud on the underside of the block; it created a huge gap when the new one was installed. I was lucky enough oil remained in it to get it home (where I realized it was leaking a LOT).
