Dave McCulloch Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I sealed this with Halfords anaerobic sealant - same stuff I used when building the rest of the engine. Now slightly worried that I've resealed this twice and it's leaked (quite a lot ) both times. I know it's got about 6 bar oil pressure against it (cold engine/oil), but so will the oil paths in the crank and cam ladders have 6 bar oil pressure. Am I going to have oil leaking out of every joint in the engine *eek*. Any suggestions for sealing the blanking plate effectively 🤔 Ta Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 This is said without DVA listening 😬 I used silcone!!!!!... a light layer on the eng face, let it cure for 5 mins then torque.
