hi guys an girls.... so i have a rb25det non neo that is leaking air like a sift from number 5 cyl/chamber. its coming from inside the head behind like the cams an sprigs at first thought it was leaking out a valve so checked that they were closing properly an they seam allgood double checked the valves were not opened by the cams or anything silly . so could there be a crack anywhere in that chamber that is not visable to the eye but big enough to leak alot of air

has anyone else had some thing like this happen. there is no visual damage. but for the amount of air escaping you would defenitly think there would be a big hole somwhere. the only way it could be coming out where it is is if the valve was open an the air would pass by the stem seal which i wouldnt it would go rite out the port that was open... so valves are 100%closed. ill have to just get it looked at down at the shop. will let yous no how it goes

If you 100% know there is air coming out of the cam cover or crankcase then yeah it could be a hairline crack anywhere on the top end. if you cant afford to replace the whole thing you could add smoke to your intake to trace the leak then just replace the part that's leaking. you never know if could just be a valve? just make sure you clean it up properly afterwards

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
