Ok, my friend changed my cam plug/rubber plug and replaced my valve cover gasket and applied hondabond liberally between the cover where the distributor and cam seal is. Problem is, my car is spewing oil all over the distributor, intake, and a puddle keeps appearing on the intake manifold. I'm assuming that he didn't torq it down back to specs.

My question is, is there anyone in the upstate NY (Binghamton) area with a torq wrench that is willing to help a fellow tegger out? Or at least lend me a torq wrench? He walked me through it and I know what to do, but I'd prefer if someone could help me out. Thanks a lot.

 

i have an inch lbs tq wrench - which is the one you will need... but im not sure i wanna make the haul to bing-town to help you out.... no offense or anything. but if you're feeling bold enough to make the roady here to Utica, id be happy to help you out.

 

Hmm... I think Utica is a lot farther drive than Ridgefield, NJ where my friend is. I was planning to drive down this weekend to fix it. My crapola is leaking a quarter quart every few days and I got 50 miles out of half a tank of gas since my last fillup, so it's pretty bad. I need to have this taken care of ASAP. Thanks for looking out.

 

no problem, let me know... its about 2 hours from bing-utica so if something doesnt work out, i can meet you someplace.... just let me know.
