Cam Cover Repair
One of my cam covers has a small portion split from the it, but remains held in place.
I am going to replace both cam cover gaskets and inspect the secondary tensioners to see if they have been upgraded which may involve more dis-assembly, depending on the results of the inspection.
My question: Has anyone used glue/cement to repair a plastic cam cover successfully? If so, what did you use?
Thanks,
Jim

The oil and heat eventually breaks down most repairs. However, I have found that after using break cleaner in the area,rubberized truck bed coating spray adheres the best for many years.
To make it look good, I would have the cover totally de-greased,spray several coats on the whole cover,then follow up with coat of black paint.
The coating is pretty much bullet proof.
