CAMAROS & BATTERIES
We’re working on a customer’s Camaro at the moment, owned by a lucky young fella called John. Like all of us, he’s bought it and – as you get with old cars – has since discovered a few niggling problems that he wants to get on top of. It’s a smart approach which works out cheaper in the end – just stay on top of any issue that crops up, rather than let it develop in to something even worse.
What got his attention was an oil leak from the rebuilt V8. While it was leaving marks on the ground, it was coming from the top of the motor and wasn’t a big deal. I’ve seen this lots of times before and have done it myself: on the end of the bigger manifolds you tend not to put in the cork or rubbers in as they have a habit of squeezing out and making a bigger mess. I silastic the ends.
In this case the oil has been leaking out the back
