Cam end plug leaking

Andy - May 2nd, 2011 at 10:21 PM

Is there anyway to stop a weap on the plug at the end of the cam without splitting the case?
(1600TP)
I have the motor out for a general clean up and am replacing seals, but the weap is coming from the cam plug, not hte shaft seal unfortunately.

Maybe put some 2-part epoxy over the top?

Cheers for the info,
Will give the JB Weld a go. Not keen to try and peen magnesium, it's not that forgiving.
