Is Raceseng cam plate really works? No Oil leak yet.

Hi, i dont have oil leak on the engine yet, but I do smell once per while of the oil while driving in pass couple months, the smells don't stay long but it is strong.

I seen people with Raceseng cam plate is able fix the oil leak problem, but I did check my engine bay and i see no leak at all. I don't know if this is necessary to buy Raceseng cam plate to replace my stock one. any thoughts?

I would not buy one unless yours is leaking. It seems like a colossal pain in the ass to do it and a waste of money otherwise.

I agree no need if your not leaking, I disagree if you are because it's very, very , very easy to replace. Top or bottom install.

I bought one in case mine ever did leak. Wanted to have one on hand just in case. Did I need it? Probably not, but if mine does indeed leak eventually, I'll be happy I have one ready to go. I consider it a small investment that won't break the bank, I wasted more money on other meaningless mods in the past, so I consider this one a high quality cheap fix and a much better design than stock

It's not reality, it's just a fantasy. Can't you see. What this crazy life is doing to me? Life is just a fantasy. Can you live this fantasy life?
