Solving problems with cam cover not sitting down on the head. Will this stop a potential leak and cure an existing oil leak problem.

Great video. I had no idea this problem existed. Here's another tip. Forget the Senloc washers. The use of them is an attempt to stop the oil AFTER it passes through the cover. Cut 1/2" (approximate) sections of rubber fuel line that will fit over the studs. When the cover is installed, these will form a seal against it preventing the oil from passing through the cover in the first place.

thats a neat idea

Great video. I think I may have been tempted to grind a couple of mil off the bottom of the stud, than mod the cam cover, as it seemed pretty true.

Interesting, but about that elephant in the room…. You forgot to mention there’s a cork gasket that goes between the head and the valve cover that’s about 3mm thick. That should account for any interference with the camshaft studs.

Pop the studs in a lather, and machine the top (unused) section of thread off.

Solved my cam cover leaking by simply gluing 4 sheets of sandpaper to a flat surface. Then moving the cover over the sandpaper in a figure eight motion until the cover was completely flat. Solved the leakingm completely.

Sounds like a good simple solution for your issue. It wouldn't have worked for me as the cover was being held off the head buy the studs that were too long.

I agree with frankhoward7645about using fuel line inside the cover. I did this 20+ years ago and it took care of the issue.

I'll give this a go next time I have the cover off
