Oil leak solved - Raceseng billet aluminum cam plate - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Suberman · 08-25-2013, 01:15 PM

As a reference point my Feb '13 build BRZ is dry as a bone under that blanking plate at 2,600 km.

I will surely keep an eye (or finger more likely) on it from time to time though.

We're considering this. We are weighing out the options of what the most reliable form of manufacturing would be.

As stated in one of the past threads, the stamped steel and aluminum head and cam cover have different rates of expansion when the vehicle goes through the paces. Its not a huge difference but it does put a very small amount of strain in the sealer/gasket. So we did ours out of billet aluminum and utilized the continual sealing pressure of a high-temp o-ring. The same technique is used for the timing cover for the sealer/o-ring combination from the factory as well.

Chiming in: we will make a price announcement tomorrow (Tuesday 8/27)
Parts should be available in two weeks.

@Raceseng

If you can provide this, I will be glad to do an install video about it, as I have had the leak since day one. PM me when you have a minute.

did i miss it?

King Tut · 08-28-2013, 01:27 PM

I missed it too.

Any chance you will have a group buy on this when available? Judging from the number of posts in the problem thread I think there would be considerable interest.

The Raceseng Cam Plate is ready to be purchased. Instead of doing a group buy which takes days and weeks to fulfill... We decided to offer a discounted price to the first 30 buyers. We only made 30 cam plates, so it is first come first serve! All orders ship same day as long as they are placed before 4PM (EST).

Check out the Cam Plate on our webstore - http://www.raceseng.com/cam-plate-20...r-s-subaru-brz

Any questions, please feel free to email me directly - jarrett (@) raceseng.com

Thanks much!

tonytduc · 09-11-2013, 03:44 PM

Just ordered

Dezoris · 09-11-2013, 04:36 PM

Ordered.

Glad you guys followed through on this, as it's one of those that won't make you a ton of money but is really an improvement on a pretty weak OEM design. Mine has been leaking since about 1000 miles and never touched in hopes this would be released.
