Can a 2wd cam cover be converted to take a screw type oil filler cap, I have a brand new twist cap but still keeps leaking on my crackle black cover which is a twat to clean off

 

Might not be economically possible, if it's even possible at all?! Not wanting to ask a stupid question, but has the crackle finish been machined off where the cap seals? I'm assuming the bayonet fit caps are no longer available?

 

Yer flatted off and new cap from GGR still weeps only a tiny amount but just enough to piss me off.

 

can you not add another or a thicker seal to the cap?

 

Yeah try another seal if possible

I'd say if it's been machined you'll need a very slightly thicker seal?

 

Not machined just flatted off back to alloy, will have to look at the seal.

 

Buy a cheapo cap from a motor factors for a VW bayonet type and use the seal from that, they are the same, did that myself years ago.
