Hi everyone, I've got some oil weeping from my cam billet plugs. Is this just a matter of removing the valve covers, removing the cam plugs and applying some RTV sealant to the the plugs before re installing?

Oil Leak
Yes, take them out , clean them and the pockets and apply RTV sealer. Ultra Grey seems to work the best.

Get new ones, they're only a couple bucks each. They harden and collapse over time.
I use 3M weather strip adhesive (gorilla snot) to glue them in the head since sometimes they seem to want to blow out of there at the most inappropriate times.

If I understand what the OP said, he stated they were some of the aluminum ones like what xschop used to make. I would not throw those away!Originally posted by BA80 View PostGet new ones, they're only a couple bucks each. They harden and collapse over time.
