Oil Leak

On the drivers side of the L6 engine there is those square covers about 4inches by 6 inches. Not sure whats under these. Is is the lifters? Seems like they are leaking oil. Can I simply remove these and put in new gaskets??

Oil Leak

You mention there's more than one? On the 240s and 300s, there is a single rectangular shaped cover that covers the pushrods and lifter bores. Yes, you can easily replace the gasket....there should be some rubber seals to put around the bolts too.

Oil Leak

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Nov-02 AT 09:57 AM (EST)]That's funny!?!?!? Both my 87 and 93 have two covers! I do remember a single cover on my 62 Rambler and Dad's 60 Chevy.

Maybe mine aren't 300's........ PING!!!!:P
