Had a Oil leak all down the head/block front. So I replaced cam seals and timing belt, checked again still oil down the front but the not 100% it's the seals is it possible that the ball bearings under the cam can leak that block the oil gallery's leak ?

If these are the problem how do you fix them ?post-92288-1439735631125_thumb.jpg

Wipe, start test and watch.

Quite often the leak can come from around the cam cap parting line too.

When and if ordering new cam seals, they should be the same part as the oil pump seals, they are all the same.

Just a quick note, the gasket under your cam cover looks broken in the pic just where it passes over the cap.

You should always use a bit of silicon in the corners and over the top of the cap on the gasket as they are known areas that are difficult to seal and leak.

Cheers I'll take time sealing them on the rebuild. The oil had pooled up in the recess where the ball bearing is. So that is my reason for thinking is it possible to leak from them ?

I've pulled out the engine to freshen up bearings gaskets,seals ect. So I'll just have to wait once I put it back in midweek to check if it's sealed.

      Don't leave a wrapped skyline out in the sun

      I could show you guys photos of wrap having been removed properly, and where the wrap was removed, paint underneath is perfect. Sections of the vehicle didn't have wrap on it, and in those areas, the paint work is destroyed because of how long it had been sitting in the hot QLD sun for many many many years. Wrap even still looked decent. Good quality wrap, and removing it properly shouldn't rip off the paint work, unless the paintwork was already shot to pieces before hand.

      R33 Window motor replacement (not switch or amp)

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Any write ups on replacing the window motor?  I've never messed with them (or window regulators) before.   Ever since I've had the car, the driver window would roll down just fine, but most often I'd have the try a few times to get it to go up.  As soon as it started to go up, it always goes up smoothly and quietly.  Seemed like a bad switch.  But now, its stuck in the fully down position and won't come back up.  I get =12/-12V coming out of the relay/amp when pressing the switch up/down.  So the switch and amp are working.  Just a bad motor.  I've also applied 12V directly to the motor and nada.   Any help on replacing the motor?  Can the glass and regulator stay in, and only replace the motor?  Or not possible?  Thanks!!!

      You are wrong. That's just Whiteline going along with the incorrect slanguage of the sheeple userbase. They are only correctly known as anti-roll bars. They are only incorrectly known as swaybars. They do do anything to prevent "sway". The swaybars that are fitted to trailler hitches do prevent sway. In the trailer. And they do not look like anti-roll bars. So, take your incorrect infopinion away.
