large 33 Posted July 21, 2007 Hi all. While replacing the seal on my cam shaft (timing belt end) i found a hole in to the water ways.The oil and water have not been mixing and the water has not been leaking. the problem i had with the engine was that it was leaking oil from what looked like everywhere i was thinking over pressure dew to blocked oil breathers or the head gasgit as i had just replaced it (first time i done one).

GLPoomobile 958 Posted July 22, 2007 He's probably referring to that hole on 8v heads under the camshaft seal, that is apparentlt normal and found on all 8v heads (at least what I was told when I found mine). It's a nasty shape and looks like a chunk has cracked and come off, but as above, I was told it was supposed to be there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
