Porcupine, that leak detector equipment would only work if I still had the motor in the car.
Zendalar, I'm not sure what could have caused this... perhaps there were a few minor burrs on the sealing surfaces that I didn't think were a problem? I didn't actually use a rooler to apply the Loctite 574, I just put a bead around the case half and spread it evenly with my finger.
RoninLB, I did install the RSR o-rings on the rocker shafts...
But it is probably as JW and others suggest... that the factory torque specs aren't enough...esp. with older engines.
Earlycar, I thought Dow Corning 730 is used as a replacement for Loctite 574. Meaning that it is used between sealing surfaces.. not as a patch... Isn't DC 730, what Bruce Anderson suggests for the case halfs?
Superman, I cannot bear the thought of missing all of this summers driving to tear the motor down again.
No, it could not be done quickly... with college classes, leave, money, and work, it is just not possible.
I have to try this first.
