jedmondson 9 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Had the notorious cam plate leak fixed under warranty at RRG a couple of months ago and it's already leaking again. Has anyone got any longer term experience of after market ones that will hold up better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyC 33 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Been waiting to see if mine will become a problem as it was apparent on another car I test drove befor buying mine. Couldn't find many aftermarket ones on sale in the uk. Found this CNC machined plate complete with O-ring and bolts... https://www.bingabinga.co.uk/solution-billet-cam-plate-red-fits-for-subaru-brz-scion-fr-s-2013.html but it's far from a trustworthy looking site 😬 Don't think the afermarket plate is worth it though, having read this... http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117116 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedmondson 9 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 I went for the RacerX plate from Fensport in the end. I've only had it on for a couple of months, all ok so far. Will see how it holds up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Church 209 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Is it issue at all, if leak is very slight and not enough oil gets through during change intervals to need any additional oil? In my eyes it's something i wouldn't care about, just some extra dirtyness in place i don't see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was quite bad and filled the cabin with a really bad burning smell whenever stopped at junctions/traffic lights etc 😬 I know some situations can warrant a degree of ignorance, but this one really needs to be fixed when it shows up!
