    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got some gasket material in the cam case. How screwed am I?

I had to replace the valve cover gasket and the previous owner used very large amounts of mystery compound to seal it. I scraped it away (took several hours) and I covered what I could, but seeing as the motor still had oil in it I could not tape off areas. I'm picking out the largest bits as I can see them, then I will soak the whole thing in oil hoping to flush out some more, but I know full well there is no way to get all the little bits of gasket material out without pulling the cams and whatnot.

How far would you go to clean this out? I'm a novice and do not want to deal with the cams yet, but I'm also concerned I'm going to wear out the motor severely. Am I over reacting? As I said I'm flushing out what I can, but I know there will be some left over.
