Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Just got word, car is fixed and ready to rock well Shane needs a bit more time with it.

Here is what Danny said:

Big mess! small easy fix!** There is a bolt/plug that goes into the timing cover just above the crank damper.* What I think it is is an access hole to see something with the Timing chain tensioner, (but you can't see anything).* That came out and that's where it was leaking.* Got a new plug in there and sealed it up and everything is dry.* I think the wetness I saw on the pan when I changed the oil was probably some oil that was running down from there as the plug backed out and then on the dyno there was enough vibration to cause it to work the rest of the way out.* The torque spec is pretty light on that, so I sealed it up and tightened it a bit tighter than what the spec is.* I don't foresee any other issues with it.*
