2.2 aries 1989
I just put in a new oil pan gasket on a 1989 2.2 aries, because
something around the front of the engine was throwing oil. I just assumed it to be the pan gasket, becauese the guy that just put the engine back together after replacing a piston, died and I acquired the job., had the new gasket siliconed and it looked like it was pretty close to blown out in several spots. I got a new Fel Pro pan gasket and installed it dry and it went back together nice. However, I started the engine back up and it is still throwing oil up onto the belts. The cam belt is oil wet on the outside of the belt and the power steering belt is wet on the inside of the belt. I took the air conditioner compressor and the alternator mounting bracket off and started it. You can see it dripping oil at the bottom of the u gasket on the front of the engine. But I can't see if it is coming from the new gasket I put on or above, say like the crankshaft seal. I hate to take the pan back off and have it still leak when I put it back. Where else can it be leaking?????????? I haven't got a book but I'm capable of taking the harmonic balance off. Where do you think the oil is coming from??? |

Even a tiny hole will shoot oil out like you wouldn't believe. |

Start with removing the timing belt upper cover and see if the cam shaft
seal had popped out or just simply worn out.

It pains me to have to say this, but if you put enough radium in your
oil that might actually work. ISTR Studebaker and someone else (Ford?) actually using a radium-based paint for the numbers on their gauge faces, and the gauges were backlit by bulbs with dark, dark purple filters. Was something of a selling point apparently, as I'm sure it looked cool as heck. Kind of difficult to restore after all the "juice" has gone out of the paint (and/or the numerals have all come off the glass and are falling down to the bottom of the instruments) however. I'm sure he was thinking of a fluorescent dye, however. nate Ken Pisichko wrote: > OK, smart ass - tell the world how you detect a radioactive isotope with a > black light?
