Hey Guys,

Anyone had this problem and fixed it?

If so, could you please let me know?

Leaking from near top of unit, so it seems and only occasionally - then the the brake master fluid drops and the red hand brake indicator lights while cornering.

- reason for leak? O-rings failing, etc?

- any seal kits available?

- anything else one needs to know?

Regards ... Les Melbourne . . .

if you are brave you can pull it apart and then source replacement seals and 0-rings for it. just keep everything super clean, take lots of pics/drawings and don't lose anything! a good seal place will be able to match most if not all the o-rings in it.

BB have you confirmed this can really be done? It was rumored for a while, but all the seals are non-circular cross-section so generic seals wont do. I tried and failed with the EDPM o ring list that was posted on this forum....haven't heard anyone confirm they succeeded. If the proper seals could be found it should be possible but no-one seems to have found them.

have not done it to any of mine (never needed to) but yes I know of a bloke who did it. I think there are even pics floating around on this forum somewhere.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
