Hi
I replaced my valve cover seal (incl spark plug seals) on my 1989 galant
4G63 DOHC about a month ago as I noticed the seal was damaged. There was also a small amount of oil leaking from the left hand side of the cover.I have been keeping an eye on it and the new seal has melted in the same place. (left hand front corner, opposite side of cambelt) I first started to notice a mark on the exhaust manifold cover where the seal has melted and dripped onto it.
Now i am losing more oil then ever from this corner.... Seemed like a waste of time changing the seal...
I have no other overheating problems that i know of (to cause the seal to melt) and the valve cover was not over tightened.
Why would this seal melt? Is it a bad seal?
Thanks for you help
