Hey guys. Couple weeks ago I spun my rear balance shaft bearing. So this week I pulled the motor. Below is a list of parts I installed:
BSE Kit from Extreme PSI.
Front Case Gasket set from Extreme PSI
1G rebuilt head
1G intake manifold
1G TB
Followed the step by step BSE kit instructions right off of VFAQ (Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit Install). Everything went well and didn't have any issues with the BSE install.
Replaced all the seals and gaskets on the front case. Yesterday I got the engine back in the car and started it up. There is a good size leak coming from under the front case. Pulled the timing cover off to get a better look, cleaned everything up, still can't seem to find the leak.
The auto tensioner and tensioner arm are wet. And pretty much everything under that. Everything on the left side of the front case is dry. The leak is coming from somewhere in the middle to the rear side of the front case.
I have the timing belt back off right now. Going through everything I can. What are some things I can check for leaks?
