Valve cover cam end plug, followup for Alyssa, Bill Posted by Peter [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Followed Bill's advice on sealing the plug rather than trying to install a new one (ran out of time to reasearch this properly before putting valve cover back on).
See pic below and link to Alyssa's original thread. For anyone who did not read it, it relates to the the valve cover plug at the end of exhaust camshaft on a 2.0 SE turbo (2.3 S non-turbo would have a distributor there?).
a) original leak (leaking for 6-8 months, perhaps more)
b) few weeks after quick cleaning, ugly but only minimal seepage
c) 2 days after plug reinstalled with sealer
Bill's instructions on installation: http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/NG900/index.html?bID=114561
After more discussion with the Saab parts manager, best info I have is that the Saab reference diagram I tried to follow shows NOT the original plug I (and Bill) have, but a later retrofit with an o-ring seal and a mushroom shaped plug (plug 9135211, O-ring 7519143).
According to the dealer, the correct way to fix the problem is to replace whatever version you have with the same part, either with a new plug ($5 list), or a new plug and o-ring. Going from the old plug to the retrofit set should also work.
