After having been very careful in the assembly of my Cad500, I STILL built
in an oil leak. I thought when I ran the 1/16" bead of blue RTV along every
section of the gasket for the timing chain cover that I'd ensured an
oil-tight seal. NOT SO. in one section, no more than 1", a persistent leak
developed. That area of the gasket does narrow to about 1/4", but there
should be little pressure on it -- only crankcase pressure/vacuum and splash
from the timing chain.
I'd sure hate to have to R&R the darned thing again, so WHAT should I use on
the gasket this time? I'm inclined toward old fashoned #2 Permatex. Anyone
have a better idea?
