i saw screw thread hole near that area...maybe u can screw some retainer bracket after installing the new cap in order to prevent it from popping out again....


or use some "grey" rtv silicon glue to make that cap sit tight....the silicon glue easily removeable if needed...

after checked with repair manual, that plug cannot be welded shut, it has oil passage inside, that's why it has become so difficult for me to repair. refer the attachment.

You obviously know your way around the engine. Anyway where do you see it has an oil passage?

it was when the cap fell out to the floor, i saw the cap fell out from there when i used compresed air to clean the area, i saw there are 2 holes north and south position. but i thought use silicone to seal it might be a good idea, and turns out the cap popped out again after just test drive session. you mean the threaded hole next to the cap hole? i will check it out. Thx! Just curious, would constant high rpm could have caused this cap popping problem??

btw, price i get for the cap is rm30, hope it is the cap that looses out and not other else, i still have a kancil to catch up to, m dad's kancil in need of timing belt replacement.

after checked at old car tuning magazi, i found out that the cap is called oil passage plug, it is used as another alternative for engine oil to cool down (bside depend on water coolant), but research shown that that plug should not have problem with leakage as it dos=esn't pop out that sasily, this confuses me.

Updates: turns out that the camshaft no. 17 bolt is squirting out engine oil when rotating, i found out this when i opened the timing belt cover and reinstall crank pulley and test run without the cover on. During rotating, can see very obvious the engine oil shooting out from the "celah celah" of the camshaft bolt, it keps shooting everywhere that causes the timing belt to be wet, again. After much thinking, i bought the ABRO blue colour thread locker, not the red ones, and apply to the camshaft bolt thread, wait half hour, then screw back into the camshaft. this blue ones still can be opened under normal extra strength ratchet pressure. this solved the leaking. Hope this info helps anyone in need.
