Hi there, i just replace the valve cover gasket and the breeder tha goes on the right valve cover bcs the front crank seal was leaking oil, after that job was done the oil leak was gone, no leaks, but now after 6mo the leak is back, do you guys think that maybe the seal is bad or just the breether got clog again?

 

You will find that the v/c hold down bolts vibrate loose and need to be adjusted, so tighten the 2 bolts that you can see on each v/c then go power scrub your engine at the local car wash, cold water only, no degreaser, and you should be fine.

 

You need to tighten those bolts every oil change or she will leak for all eternity.

 

The front crank shaft seal is leaking bad when the truck is driving on hiways, maybe bcz the pcv got clog and the engine is building presure and leak at the front seal?.... Any ways i got a new seal on hand, just need to be sure that what i think is posible to happen. About 6 months ago i replace the v/c gaskets and the plastic piece that goes inside the valve cover so the engine can release pressure....

 

You rarely build up crank case pressure in our engines. You can always pull the hose from the v/c and spray carb cleaner in it if you are worried about it.

 

Mmm!! i will try the carb cleaner!!! And how hard is to replace the crank shaft seal, i think i need to remove the fan, the serpentine belt and the crank shaft bolt, pull the main pulley and the seal will be there right? i'm thinking about 2hr job? letme try this tomorrow!!!

 

Mike!!! I di'd spray the breder with carb cleaner, the seal still leaking oil so my next step will be replacing that sucker.... I try to remove the crank shaft pulley today but i need the fan cluth tool to get it out, also need the right socket =(......

 

Well, I replace the seal, and everything is fine now!!! fan clutch came out eazy, it was about 30min job!!!! thanxs mike!!! I'm still waiting to fix's those brakes to see if the 3amigos go away..... I will let you know whats going on with that!! thanxs.

 

Where are the pictures? That would help others to.

 

I just got a short video, not too good, but i will post it on you tube later this weekend.
