oil pump drive seal leaking.... lq1

[z34dumas]

ok so my book doesn't say anything about changing the seal. any tips/tricks? how long does it usually take? how much do i gotta take off? I've heard that you gotta take the heads off but i dont see why. any info would be very helpful.

Search man, its been covered many a times.

Ken has mentioned a method that doesn't involve removing the heads.... i believe it involved filing a corner off to clear it?

[z34dumas]

that sounds like it might work. just my luck... i just had everything apart to do my timing and it didn't start leakin til a couple days after.

cool. found kens method with pics. ill find out tomorrow whether i can pull it off or not

I did the Ken method, cut a corner off the head (so much easier than I anticipated), but I'm pretty sure the GTP still leaks. Might be from another area though, never got around to pinpointing it. I do need to do it on the monte when it warms up though, it goes through a half quart about every two weeks
