I was losing oil through that plug seal (MD184946) at the end of the intake camshaft. After doing a boost leak test, the cap completely popped out. I'm thinking, if I put it back in, it's going to eventually pop back out again.
After looking at the part in an exploded view diagram, I see another part (MD305709) that is supposed to be installed over the plug seal (I'm assuming) to keep it from popping out; it has two bolts that go in the side of the head. Well, I'm missing that part and I can't find a source for it.
I've torn this head apart several times and I've never seen that part before; didn't know it even existed. I don't remember ever having an oil leak at this point, but I built the turbo and I know there is a lot more boost now, so that cap doesn't want to hold the pressure.
Do I have to fabricate this part myself?
Is anyone else running their engine without this piece?
Do you know where I might be able to get one?
