Help with a leak?
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 3:54 am
I developed an antifreeze leak after replacing my valve cover with a new aluminum one. Its leaking from the wheep hole. I replace all the seals and also the round one on the impellar shaft. I could never get it to stop so I re-ordered new seals and I am going to start over.
My questions:
What seals and where should I use grey sealant or should I install the seal with no sealant. I really think my leak was between the impellar shaft and the seal lip. The impellar shaft had some corrosion on it from the old valve cover. I tried to get it all off but may have missed some. Could this cause it to leak between the shaft and the seal.
Thanks for any help!
