I have an '82 special that has a nagging oil leak from the 6 bolt cover that houses that cam chain tension adjuster. The leak appears to be coming from the top right 2 bolts. I've tried a new gasket, but I think the issue is that I can't crank down hard enough on the bolts. I got new bolts as the originals were heat-warped but they started to strip the housing in the engine case. I'm thinking about getting some longer bolts to get past the stripped threads and really be able to crank that sucker down. Anyone experienced this issue before and have a suggestion? Also I'm curious what the purpose of this cover is, been such a headache I wish the cam chain adjuster just fit straight into the case!
