Hello All, all fellow CB7s and what not.
I have joined this site a long while. I started joining, not knowing anything, or having any knowledge of doing the simplest things, except oil change? I try hard to learn.
I have done a lot of maintenance that I can in my power, financial wise and what not, to keep this car. I've found out that I LOVE THIS CAR more than anything.. Yes it may be old, but it was my first car that I learned to drive, and has more than just a sentimental and monetary value.
Anyhow, I've done a lot of things, yet, the next project I plan to do is fix this problem, I've discovered. My car has 83k, and I've discovered some leak in the valve cover and what not. Here are some pics. What I want to do, is clean out the engine slowly over time to remove deposits, replace and fix any leaks, gaskets that I can.
I've done mostly the basics, like radiator (discovered alot already doing that), oil changes, spark plug, p/s. Generally my cb7 has been problem free cept 2 major points A/C and motor mounts.
I notice that I may loose motor oil over time (not weekly, mabye every 1 1/2 months or so?) I think my oil seeps through the old rubber gaskets and etc..What exactly will I need? or do to fix the problem. As you can see, oil is seeping through the nutz on the valve cover as well as through the gaskets.
Sorry it is long, but I'll try address each and everything I can.
*To recap. I want to make my engine cleaner and fix the leakly areas that'll worsen over time. I don't have much tools, so i'd like to know what exactly i can do and etc. etc..
Thanks very much guys..
