the motor leaks from the tab of the headgasket..looking at the motor the lower left side of the head. i was told that it was caused by the shitty resurfacing of the head by NAPA. now that the head was resurfaced the right way, new head gasket and bolts, it still leaks from the same spot. any ideas?

i can turn off the car and clean up the spot, then turn it on and watch the oil come out of the tab of the headgasket that sticks out. after a min. its allmost dripping on the floor.

thatnks i will check the o ring but iam sure i replaced it.

your block maybe warped


if u think about it BJ....jay changed every seal in that motor

i think someone owes you another motor

Gotin

i think that your right about that one. but damn thats just more downtime. and alot of drama to deal with. i havent been able to get in touch with john at LHT to discuss teh situation.

The problem most likely is your cam seal, also it could be the v-tec solenoid assembly gasket. I wold change all of the above the cam seal and the v-tec solenoid assembly. But I really think its the cam seal.
