oil leaking under Eccentric Shaft Sensor
I'm sorry if it's already posted, but my search for Eccentric Shaft found no threads for my issue..
My situation is that I did an engine head job and after I put everything together, I noticed oil residue near the thermostat. I checked and it was under the sensor and I replaced the o-ring, but still leaking.. Do I need to replace the whole sensor? Anyone had issue like this? Also I can't find any info on the torque on the 3 bolts.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Mine is doing the same thing ... just replaced all my valve guides and planed the head. I used the o-ring that came with the head gasket set, and it leaked. Ordered another O-ring from FCP Euro, same leak. Torqued to spec 88 in lbs. When I pulled it apart, there was no sealant on the sensor flange ... just the o-ring.
