cam seal oil leak arter rebuild
I just wrapped up the rebuild from the head up of my 2007 Volvo v70 xc. It runs great, the turbo kicks in and it't the fastest xc I've ever had I'm very proud butI have just one problem.
I'm leaking a reasonable about of oil (well, unreasonable arguably) from the CVVT hub on the exhaust. I'm all but certain the seal is not seated properly.
This engine has CVVT on the intake and exhaust cams. I replaced all 4 cam seals as part of this job. My question is do I need to take the entire valve cover off, or is there any way I can setup the engine so I can attach the cam locking tool, take off the cam bolt cover, take off the CVVT hub and reach in there and line up the seal?
Or so I need to remove the valve cover and all that that entails, clean off old gasket etc..
I already missed one of these seals when I was putting her back together and had to redo this, I'm just a little burned out; I've been working on this for months on and off and I'm so close to the finish line.
Ahe she runs so well!! But I can have all this oil leaking out..
