[QUOTE="Iceduke, post: 687636, member: 3721"] besides overtightening, you could also be using a substandard sealant. The one I used which is recommended by the mech is Victor-Reinz which can withstand up to 300c. So far so good. But no matter how sealed it is, mind you n42s have a habit of leaking eventually as the quality of seals does seem to not last long... Mine and another forummer's vacuum pump and cam solenoid o-seals both changed twice in a span of 1 year... :(... the reality of n42s.... [/QUOTE]
