AKghandi Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have replace just about every gasket on my motor aside from the rear main. it is still leaking. the rear main is leaking and i will be fixing that soon with a new clutch. the oil pump is leaking and the pan is leaking.. It is leaking alot. around a qt a week. so I want to know what tricks there are to fix this, I plan on pulling my engine for the third time to reseal. again... I know I did all previous repairs correctly but ill be damned if the oil pump wont stop leaking. I have resealed it 3 times. once with the new micky and o ring, again with a new micky o ring and shaft seal and once with new micky oring and anaerobic sealer. still freakin leakin. oil pan i did once with just rtv, and then again with the cork gasket and rtv. I did not over tighten and i used lock tight on all bolts. the cam seals and valve covers seem to be holding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I rebuild an EA82 last year and it has yet to leak so it can be done. Try a new oil pump or a different low mileage used one. I would probably not choose RTV for an oil pan. I would try Ultra Gray, "The Right Stuff", Ford OEM Oil Pan sealer, Toyota Black, etc. With the correct gaskets, o-rings, seals and sealers, they can be totally tight. At least for 50 - 60k or so...

987687 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Can an ea82 not leak oil? Sure... when it runs out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooner Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Dude, that's the only way to keep a constant flow of clean oil through the engine. Another trick you can try is pull that engine and when it's out put an EJ22 in its place...works every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
