Hey Richard, thanks for the offer. When I tried to get it out I didn't want to pry too hard. I'll try your technique.

I'm still planning on coming down to visit one day. I've been down to my sisters place a few times over the past several months, usually just helped with their place and headed home.

speaking of leaks... anybody ever have a leak from a head plug?? there are plugs on the underside of the heads near the firewall and I see seepage out of one of he plugs on the right head closest to the firewall. it is not a heavy leak but enought to have my cleaning 2 drops a month from my garage floor.

I put a new O-ring on my cam sensor and it's still leaking.

I felt up in the head and it feels like it's smooth in there.

Why does the sensor look like it has two places to put an O-RING?

I put the O-ring on the grove closest to the magnet end, is that correct?




Merry Christmas Everyone

That is the way I have it on one on the shelf...."O" ring where you suggest
Maybe thicker "O" ring is required. I would say nothing wrong with using two "O" rings.

On the Cam Sensor....Groove diameter closest to the collar is .710 diameter and .10 width.
Groove closest to end is .710 diameter and .095 width but that measurement may be the same as width of first.
The OD each side (and between) the "O" rings is .807 and the ID of the bore in the Head is .810. The Diameter of the main body of the Cam Sensor is .740.
