Cam cover o ring

[87 warrior]

So i found my oil leak.it was leaking from my cam cover.It shouldn't be leaking because i just replaced the o-ring on it not too long ago.could it have been the o-ring set i used.i used the Winderosa top end set.

possible warped or bent cover? or dirt in between the two, or small unseen by eye crack that opens up when it warms?

 

[87 warrior]

huh how do i test for this?

 

[hawkster0001]

well can you tell where the oil is coming from, like between the cover and engine or what?

 

[87 warrior]

its leaking between the cam cover and the head right below the left allen bolt

 

[87 warrior]

my o-ring seems to be flush with my cam cover would that mean its too small

I don't think it can be warped or bent it's aluminum ifnit was bent if would be broke. The o ring ripped? The allens tight?

 

[87 warrior]

allen's are tight and the o-ring is new and perfect

 

[hawkster0001]

well id say take it off lay it on a smooth flat surface such as a countertop, and look for any parts that are higher then others, if not then maybe your bolts are too long and stopping before they tighten down the cover
