Default LEAKS

when building your motor up and tuning, what are some leaks you came across with? how did you fix it, how bad was it, how much of a pain was it? what are some common leaks?
someone told me when you go FI you come across more leaks than all motor, but the way i look at it, leaks just happen. period.

Default Re: LEAKS (krazy one)

if you do it right you shouldn't have any leaks..obviously no one is perfect and every time I've put an engine together I've always had some small leak...it could be anything from a lose oil line or fuel line to bad seals/gaskets...valve cover gasket seams to be a typical headache or oil pan gasket....lose rad hoses can make a nice mess

cam seal are infamous for leaks. if encountered, dab a lil hondabond around the rubber ring when installing a new one. or replace it with a double or triple ring cam seal w/ hondabond.
