@humfrz - good pickup on that typo, it was the timing chain cover edge which wept slightly & hey you're 100% correct - if it works it works, only cost me a few bucks in RTV

@ZZT86 how is your seal-from-the-outside holding up?
I may end up trying this since I think I have a leak in the same area. Even if I eventually have to remove the timing cover to re-seal the whole thing this attempt isn't a lot of effort or difficult to clean up. |

I got this to try but then my car got totaled. My current BRZ does not leak significantly so I never got to try it.
https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-8209...gateway&sr=8-2 Just an idea. |

EDIT: I think this thing comes with a straw so maybe it's not a bad idea. I still have to clean off the area and get a definitive answer before I take on any task but nice to know that product exists. Also of interest Last edited by Joon525; 06-06-2019 at 03:41 PM. |

I think the permatex stuff is as good of an option as any for attempts at repair without disassembly. It is specifically designed for the purpose. I was unable to locate any locally though even after checking around extensively. I would advise that if you want to try it, just save yourself the trouble and order it. |

Was fine after 1year+, no leaks. I have since had the dreaded valve spring jobie done on my car & so all that good work went down the toilet replaced by Subarus famous ThreeBond gray sealant. Car still running after 1000+kms . . . . I'll give it another 1000 before I call it a success, but even then you just never know with FIPG. |

Hey all, so I'm fixing my timing cover leak. As an update, you could do it while the engine is in the car, but you'll have a very very hard time removing the old rtv. Especially where the water pump is. How I am doing it is I removed the engine and have it on a stand. I did it this way because my valve covers were leaking too. It's a lot easier to do it with the engine out (obviously), but it's still difficult. I would suggest getting a gasket kit or order the individual o rings. Next you'll have to rtv the entire cover and then 4 spots inside the cover.
This is a painstakingly long process. Oh and also, there's a torquing pattern when you put the cover on. Cleaning the rtv off is taking most of my time and I was actually surprised that from factory, there is a crap-ton of rtv. Good luck to anyone that's doing it while it's in the car. For me, I've already spent a good 12 hours on it, with removing the engine, replacing my valves covers and halfway with the timing cover. |

I did that too to track them as I removed them, but I didn't want to keep having to reference the cardboard for the torque sequence.
