Man it's been a long time coming and after going through a litre of oil a WEEK! I can finally look to cleaning my driveway up ;)

3 Leaks in total have plagued me for friggin ages, After Jeff (Zedworld) re done my cam seals and cam belt, I was down to 2, but then he noticed the gap under the rocker covers was rather big, checked some other cars he had in and sure enough it was, managed to get a screwdriver to the front 3 screws and hey presto, they were really loose. So back another day to have the plenum whipped off and the rocker cover gaskets done and it turns out the screws were all only hand tight :eek:

So off i goes with me fingers crossed BUT, I still had 1 leak which was poping out through the Cam covers :confused:

So this week down at the local garage I decide to take the cam covers off, re assemble everything and drive round with the covers off hoping to spot it, no sooner was eveything back on and fired her up, within a couple of minutes, spotted! oil was flying out from the top cam shaft sprocket on passenger side all over the gaff AND you could actually see the thing wobble as it went around,so got Jeff to send me yet another cam belt and replacement cam shaft sprocket and seals with new auto tensioner, all fitted today, fired her up, no oil splats, took her for a blast and still no oil.

Man am so relieved about this, just had to share and I think i'll have to give the Mrs a good seeing to tonight now :D

Now I can spend some cash on fitting my replacement front bumper and side skirts I got coming from Japan :hyper:
