WTB: cam covers
I'm looking for a pair of the plastic cam covers pieces. The ones beneath the cam gears. Mine are cracked and leak to much oil. Please advise if you have any available?
Thanks LSA-SVX

Re: WTB: cam covers
? do you mean cam seals? covers are usually refered to as the timing belt covers. they dont leak oil. cam seals will though. do you have a pic of them to post so we can help out better?

Re: WTB: cam covers
The rubber gaskets for the cam gear covers will leak oil, but the real problem is that they have oil to leak. There should be no oil in there. You probably need to replace both cam seals and the front crank seal.
806732150 Oilseal-32x45x8 (camshaft) $6.11 (need 2 of these) 806733030 Oil Seal $7.17 $5.46 $5.46 (front crank seal)

Re: WTB: cam covers
He's probably referring to the timing belt covers if so....plan on buying new ones, it is highly unlikely anyone at this point has crack-free timing belt covers. They aren't too expensive the front center timing belt cover I just purchased was about $60.
I posted/inquired in this forum section about the same thing not too long ago. I ended up purchasing all new and I still managed to crack one on installation, boy was i PO'D!!!

Re: WTB: cam covers
I do believe he is referring to timing belt covers. Unfortunately replacing them and the rubber gaskets for them without also repairing the source of the oil leak will only result in further leaks. The rubber gaskets for the timing belt covers will get elephantitis pretty quickly when oil gets to them, they'll swell up, and the leak will be back.
The most common source of the oil leak is the front main seal and cam seals. Could also be the power steering reservoir leaking down from the top, but that would be pretty obvious.

Re: WTB: cam covers
I agree since he'll be replacing the plastic covers, it'll be a good time to replace seals and plugs. You provided the part number for the exhaust seals...the part number for the intake plugs is 807045030.
