The usual story....interference engine, broken timing belt, bent valves. Redid all, but still have an annoying oil leak on the unit that holds the cams. Rocker cover is tight. PCV/breather is clear. Took apart and added a tiny bit of hi-temp sealer (though this piece does not use a gasket), still no good. Anyone come across a solution for this?

    It does use a gasket,a chemical gasket from a tube.Make sure sealing surfaces have no gouges,burrs or old gasket and apply new pink chemical with a small roller.Good luck,Bill
