More trouble Inlet Manifold air leak this time...

cheers For the info Peter,

got a torque wrench but not one that goes down that low, and the low one in Halfords is ?50 :(

Anyway just seems to be the cam end that drips a bit so may take off and see as the pegs are wound fully down. The nuts I've done up by a socket and with me hand instead of the ratchet and then just nipped um a bit extra with the ratchet.

Have noticed that where it was dripping the length of steel that fits over the bolts was slightly bent at the cam end so have managed to knock this back down and tighened the nut so may solve the problem, may not fingers crossed.

Its the leak from the sump thats worrying me more. :banghead:

Yeah I paid about ?60 for a torque wrench that goes down to I think 5Nm.

Rocker cover gasket is between 5 and 10 pounds and comes with the rubber bits that go at each end.

Don't want to alarm you but you do not want oil leaking at the cam belt end, I think it will perish the belt.

Think that's just made it your priority.

Hairyarse recently did a sump gasket so he's the one to ask questions on that. Gonna take best part of a day to do all 3!

Fairly cheap to do though. Plenty of patience and you'll be right.
