to redo the Intake VC as that was the only one leaking. It was leaking right at the VTC solenoid and was a pain in my ass. I thought I had this car done and was starting to put the front panels on when I noticed oil under the car I originally thought it was just spilled fluid but I had a huge pond under the car. I found this out last night at 12am and had the whole top end pulled in about 15-20min.
I think I know why oil was leaking from the VC. One, I think the surface wasnt clean enough so the RTV didnt seal the VTC. Also I think the gasket didnt sit in the grove of the VTC which was causing a "blow by". Anyways all is put back together and I used the original philips heads but used a bigger screw driver bit that i stuck in a 8MM socket so i could actually check the torque this time. Last time I had to guess by hand because I never though of using a bit in a socket to get torque :(. Anyways all are torqued to 5ft lbs, which is a little higher then the 2-3 but that is as low as my torque wrench would go so I think ill be alright.
Thanks again Anthony and John I truly appreciate it.
