Idasho Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I yanked the EA81 out of my '84 GL this evening. For x-mas it is getting a complete re-seal. Starting with the nasty leaking rear main. I need to know what this bolt/plug is called, and how it is supposed to seal. It seems to be leaking a good deal of oil too. Thanks for any help!

MilesFox Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 That is not a plug or seal, but rather one of the bolts that hold the engine halves together. The oil accumulated around it is likely from somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idasho Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Well, the plot thickens. The bolt clearly had some kind of sealant on it, that was degrading. So I pulled the bolt out. Lots of oil inside the hole. Any suggestions? Does this bolt go through somewhere? Or does it dead-end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
