Complaint: timing case oil filter housing area threads show signs of oil leakage (oozing beads)
Cause: fine pores in the casting
Remedy:
- Degrease the threads with a cleaning agent (e.g. Loctite 7063 or similar).
- Carefully blow the threads with compressed air (cover the area with a rag) to remove the cleaning agent.
- Install new micro-sealing bolts A002 990 11 03 (M6x12).
