followed the guides
« on: 16 May 2010, 20:54:13 »
Hi guys
I`ve followed the guides and replaced the leaking cam cover gasket on my 2.2, with the box off nice access to the plugs. According to the history the plugs were re-newed in 2008, removed them easily enough; but surprised to find them rusted heavily? I`m assuming run off water finds it`s way onto the top of the cam cover and drips down to corrode the plug body. Is this correct thinking? If so I`m thinking along the lines of water proofing the cam cover sliding lid in some way. Any thoughts.

quite common on the 2.2...

Check where the large piece of scuttle meets the smaller piece, the join is a favourite for leaking....and into the plug wells.

Ok, it`s pouring at the moment and I`m seeing drops of rain on the cam-cover already! Cheers.

It might be worth Sealing the leak as it can some sometimes lead to the coil pack failing as well,

Best stuff to seal the joint in the skuttle is some black windscreen sealant, available at your local motor factors. The stuff never sets fully so will flex as your skuttle expands and contracts with the heat of the engine/sun. Might be an idea to do around the wiper spindle seals at the same time :y
