RTV sealant in rear cam cap?
#1
Hello,  I've read in the FixKick site that apart from the RTV sealant on the hole in distributor base,  the rear cam cap too (inside head) needs RTV sealant to avoid a bad oil leak and saw the related picture. If no RTV in rear cam cap would the oil leak at the back of the head? like it was leaking from distributor base?
Do all heads of G16B 16V have this rear cam cap or only certain versions?
I have a 1992 Sidekick 16Valves.
Thanks in advance

P.S.  In the 'Hard to find' section it is mentioned to use RTV sealant (16V only!) in the hole (cam lifter rail) at distributor base (pencil pointing to the hole in the picture) BUT in the 'How to time distributor G16B' section, ALL Steps, point 9, is stated  'Pour 1 teaspoon of oil down into the Distributor base (I assume it will be dry ) hole where the Distributor bottom end goes. (this is a real FSM step)'.

Is it oil or silicone sealant that goes in the hole at distributor base?

I'm digging the site a lot Big Grin
