When you changed the rear camshaft plug did you put a bunch of gray RTV on it? I did that to mine and it never leaked for years.
After doing some research on here and reading that some other guys have done that I did. Everything I read said very THIN coat. So that's what I did. Seems good so far. Like I said, I also replaced the valve cover gasket which I had intentionally NOT replaced b/c I was waiting to heat cycle the engine and check the torque on the ARP head bolts.

Have you considered going to a megasquirt ECU and just run off of a MAP sensor rather than an old DSM maf?
I haven't, but it might be something to look into. My tentative plan moving forward was to install the SAFC-II out of my Eclipse (which is ancient technology at this point too) after upgrading that car to the DSM Link. However, due to COVID, there's been lots of delays at ECM Turning, and I just found out last week my extra EPROM ECU I bought for this is now missing. Even if I switch the car to a SAFC though, it would still be running off the MAF - although I would have some control over the tune.
Thanks of the input. I'll have to look into that. I know several people run that setup, and I've seen them for sale on here every now and then.
