Hi, my car p6 2000tc needs the oil seal in the head changing again, !!!!!!. this will be the 3rd time in not many miles.
when i first brought the car it was leaking oil at back of the head ( between block and head) , after reading various threads on the forum I changed the o ring at the same time checking all the other basic items to check when ever the head is off.
After about 100 miles the o ring started leaking again, this had been fitted dry. after further advise I stripped the head off again and fitted a new o ring, but well coated with hylamar , this one has lasted about 300 miles, and needs changing again!!!!.
What could be wrong with my head/block or what could i do to try and make the new one last,
Apart from being a days work fitting the new o ring, what with a new head gasket needed every time the cost of nearly £100 on a regular basis is getting me down.
any advise would be great
Regards Steve
