Hello everyone help i have a leaky distributer seal that started after my mech. installed a hot cam on my car. SO far he changed the seal twice and yes still leaking right part too because i bought personally the gm part myself. Every install part was put back carefully and accordingly to specs. anyone ever experienced this problem or any suggestions may be of some help to me would be truly appreciated. thanks.

 

A lot of people mistake a leaky waterpump seal for a leaky opti seal. It's easy to damage or roll the lip on the waterpump seal when installing into the timing cover. Verify it's not your waterpump seal.

 

leaky seal. I too had the same problem when changing to the 'hot cam'. I pulled it apart and replaced the small shaft and the seals again -better but not right - still seeps a little. let me know what you do to resolve this problem. what are you going to do solve the driveability problems w/ the hot cam? I have the same cam- the valve overlap at low speeds presents a tuning problem. If I had it too do over again I would have chosen a slightly milder cam. With 1.6 RRs you need the LT4 injectors at the minum. they will work without the service engine light comming on all the time like as with the 30Lb injectors.
