Dickensheets Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ok so the engine is on a stand, 2.5 dohc with a blown head gasket at 130,000 miles. I'm ready to pull the heads. The front of the cam where it goes out thru the front of the head has a cap of sorts and it looks like they used RTV to seal it. This is also the piece that holds the cam seal in place. Is this really RTV like I think it is? So far I've resealed the seperatror plate, oil pump/new o-ring/ backing screws, and resealed the oil pan, and replaced crank seal. Rear main seal looks clean so I don't mess. Cam seals look clean but I will replace since they come out now anyway. Water pump and t-belt and tensioner are OEM new also.

subaru360 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yes it's RTV, just put a little on when you put it back together. Put some at the corners of the caps and on the little half moon pieces under the valve covers also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
