   I've just put a set of JP4 covers on with brand new seals but on the front/outer side of the exhaust cam cover oil is pissing out everywhere, near where the cover is keyed for the seal to fit in. I am wondering if it is something to do with the bolts as I think they are coming to a stop before tightening down fully.
   
   Could that be a problem? If not does anyone have any suggestions please?

   Anyone?
   
   I thought the bolts might have been too long but they appear to thread down far enough to clamp onto the cover ok. Does the cover need modifiying slightly to fit the J4 cam ladders? I did the bolts up pretty damn tight and can't imagine it needing more force to clamp down.

   Did you solve this?
   
   When I had the white cam covers refitted after removing the 708's I had the same problem. Used Tiger seal, clamped down and that worked a treat.. But they were stock cam covers...
