the spark plug o rings on the passenger side cam covers have started leaking. is there something that might have caused this, a vibration?or something else . i have owned the 92 for 3 years and have never taken them off . thanx to rick for guiding me on its removal. also is there anything to ck while its off ????

Did you check the bolts for tightness? I have run across a few that have some how backed out on their own.

no i havenbt . i had to get an inch pound tq wrench ,which i did today. i have new o rings and got some 518 locktight so i figured i would pull it off and put new o rings on the spark plug tubes . is there anything i should take a look at while i have it off ???

Brad, two things you may want to look at while you're under there.

The chain guide strips in the cam cover, and there is a breather filter where the aluminum tube comes from that maybe falling apart.

Brad. I never seen any of that stuff first hand either!

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts after you get your eyes on this stuff.
