So i've been a bit lazy with the work due in part
with the beautiful weather, sick kids, no extra cash, and just an
all around busy life. What I have been sick of is going to the garage
in the AM and seeing my drip pan keep filling up with oil. I plan
on droping the engine this winter, but I'd like to try and stop
the drip.
I read a post on 912bbs that really sounded like a cool option.
Silicone. So, I cleaned her up, dryed her off, and started to get
her leak free.
This is what my engine looked like. Nasty, oily, drity.

I cleaned out all the oil and gunk from the push
rod tubes. Since I can't remove the tubes without droping the engine,
I'm going to use Blue Silicone to try and stop the leaks. |

My beautiful engine after the hour or so of cleaning.
Tooth brush, WD40, papaer towles, rags, and a lot of scrubing. It's
look great. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot nicer than before. |

In my ownership, the engine has never been this clean.
Now, lets hope we can keep her this way with the fix. |

On the back it says "California residents
have noticed possible birth defects due to the use of this product."
Ok, what the hell are you CA people doing with this stuff? You're
not suppose to eat it!
Good stuff, so I've been told. 1 hour to set, and 24 hours to really
cure it. |

Gotta love the blue. I cleaned up the excess, and
hopefully got it all the way around. I'm going to drive her around
a bit after about 5 hours, then park and slide the now clean drip
pan under her and see what happens. Hopefully there will be no oil
in the AM. We'll see tomorrow. |
