Please I need help quick. I eliminated the emission as show at taboospeedshop.com and now I have OIL all over the engine compartment being spread out by the sprockets. What could have happened here??? Do i have a cracked head??? Did I blow a seal??? I hear a hist coming from around the sprockets but cant see what could be the problem GSX is stopped i wont drive it. But sure need help in order to trouble shoot it and fix it ASAP. Thank You Guys I need all the help possible Thanks.

Did you plug the PCV, or the crankcase breather? That'll push out a cam seal.

Yes I did and I was suggested that perhaps i blew my valve cover gasket but I couldnt find where was it leaking from. If it did push out a cam seal how hard would it be to replace it and what do they run for? I plugged everything back stock in that department and there was no leak after that but I only tried it at idle didnt want to risk putting pressure into it without knowing what blew out if anything did for that matter. I know my valve cover gasket which I replaced 2 weeks ago didnt bring a cam seal which is why I had asked about it. Thank You so much for giving me a new option now I need to look at the seals and see what happens. Would I have to take the cams off if that happened??? If so what would the procedure be??? Thank You.

George OMG :dsm:
 
how long am i expected to take changing this cam seal??? What all would i need Tools, Parts, etc.??? I need to change the Timing Belt on it so it will get nasty up in here LOL. 8 in one day??? you must be a mechanic or did something go wrong with your car?

I'll need Valve Cover Gasket Set.
