cozz my engine is leekin oil from the sump gasket i though i would take the engine out and clean her right up for summer.

i noticed oil is slowly but noticable comin out of the "raw plug " ?

its the one just under the dissy

whats behind it, and is it common for them to leak there , how would i get one , 20 questions i know .





Cheers

are you sure it is not coming up past the oil seal on the dizzy and running down over the core plug. looks like there is a trace of oil obove the plug.

 

core plug would be water mate,not oil

 

yea it could be comin from the cam's oil seal maybe.


Ill have a look 2 day when i take it apart.



Ben

 

hello mate it sounds like it is comming from the oil seal on the dizzy as the core plug is in a water way. failing that it will be from the rocker box gasket or the oil filler cap

 

cheers mate. it is the little o-ring behind the dissy that could be the culprit, so i ordered a full lowered gasket set and i will change them all.


Ben

 

hello mate it will be the black o ring that goes round the dizzy were is goes into the head. it doesn't come as part of a head set or part of a conversion set (block set). best off going to fords and asking them for it.

 

sorry mate yea thats what i did , i had to order it sepretly from ford, cost me 44p+vat.

have u seen my post in photo's and gallery .? " so the story begins "?

no mate will have a look
