Camshaft Oil Seal pop-out after few minutes after fixed
Hi:
This is happening since yesterday, one of the previously installed (left bank about 3 years ago after time belt change) Camshaft Oil Seal just pop-out from the Camshaft Front "hole". Well, I just wrap a new one from my shack, re-inserted nice and neet, and just 3 minutes after the engine was running the new one also "pop-out" like a cork from a champagne bottle. So here I´m without a clue of what it´s happening, what can cause so much pressure to be able to push-out this cap?. Any ideas where to start to look?

Hi T-CUT:
Yes, I was thinking that something was related with the cam cover breathers, but I what to be sure where to start. I´ll be looking at how to check & fix those. I may imagine that the RH Bank must need a check/clean too. Thanks, mate..!!! Kind regards Joel Antonio.

Check the cap for damage when it was removed. Is it cracked? How hard was it to push back in? If you could do it very easily by hand then the cap needs replacing. Simon

Hi Simon:
The cap was a brand new out of the bag, I had to use a plastic hammer to put it in. I had to remove the front bumper and the RH headlights to get plenty of room space to manage the insertion of this new cap. By a pressure I can't tell you nothing yet but I will check Friday in the afternoon. About that what's if I feel "air/gas" coming out? It's in deed a blocked breather? Kind regards Joel Antonio

Further evidence is that many of us have blocked crankcase breathers but it doesn't cause the camshaft cap to be ejected. There's a bearing behind the cap. I would have another go at refitting it but this time devise a lever to push evenly over the cap's surface. Keep checking the sides to make sure that the cap remains centralised. Simon

Are you saying that over-pressurisation of the crankcase is not the cause of cam caps blowing? If so, then what is the cause? Regards Mike |

Popping out 'like a cork from a champagne bottle' sounds like pressure to me.

Hi Simon:
Well, seems to be that my first attempt to set the cap was incorrect.. I did manage to set a new one and this time it's holding as such be. I also cleaned the breathers on both sides just to be on the safe side. I´m back on the road again Kind regards Joel
