    That's not an o-ring that seals oil from coming out of the rear of the block. The o-ring under there is for oil port to the rocker shafts. You use Locktite 51580 (AKA gasket eliminator) to seal the #1 & #7 cam bearing caps. The rear cap has to be removed to reseal it.

    See I was doing to you what I thought you were doing, making assumptions.
    I do not believe we had any units that used the Jake spacer most every unit in our area used the factory deep cover, and came with Jake's.

    It is all back together and stayed clean and dry today. It was the o-ring causing the leak. The man who fixed it this time did it last time. He said a stud with a washer under it was loose. He also said he always changes that washer when he does this repair. He denied being the one to fix it two years ago. I emailed him the bill from two years ago. I have not heard back. Hmmmm.

    Dont you just hate it when a person can own up to ones mistakes!!

    A simple "i must of screwed up" goes a long way in my book, i have more respect for a person who admits his faults versus a lier

    I agree with you 100% on owning up to a mistake. The world does not come an end when someone says: I messed up. This guys likes bragging on himself but won't admit a mistake. He has more excuses than Carter had pills as to what must have happened. In the end I paid the full shot twice.
