My 240 turbo, B21FT, 275k miles, is spraying oil from inside the timing belt cover onto the head. The head was replaced about 5k miles ago, and was gone through by a reliable machine shop. The flame trap was thoroughly cleaned at that time. As I read posts, I wonder if the flame trap could be clogged this soon, or are new cam seals not a standard item to replace during a valve job?
The car is a spare for now, but I like it better than my 940. Better built, but not as comfy.....
I understand I should replace the timing belt anyway, but for now would like to fix the oil leak so I can replace the distributor cap and rotor which became so oilsoaked it barely runs.
My questions are:
Is it difficult to replace the cam seals once the timing belt is off?
Is there a good way to get at the flame trap without removing the intake manifold? I cleaned it up when the head was off, so access wasn't a problem at that time.
Thanks for any advice.
