Oil leak

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by paulzac1, Apr 17, 2019.

  1. Hi All
    I have a very small oil leak, think it may be coming from the push rods. Does anybody know or have used the Wynns engine stop oil leak which you can get.
    I have heard different reports regarding this, is it worth a try?
    Cheers

    If they leak there its because whoever assembled the engine
    • Failed to stretch the tubes to the required length
    • Re-used old seals
    • Used sealant
    • Failed to clean the head and block sealing faces.
    • Failed to lightly oil the seals and twist the tubes as they torqued the heads to centre the tube seals.
    Pick one or several.

    Dont worry.

    If it’s a type 4 engine they leak because whoever assembled the engine

    · Failed to clean the O-ring grooves in the tubes
    · Re-used old O-rings
    · Used sealant on the O-rings
    · Failed to clean the head and block sealing faces.
    · Failed to lightly oil the seals

    I’d rather have a leak than use Wynns engine stop oil leak.
