URGENT Help needed now!!!! pretty please!

The one on the left side was twisted believe it or not. I fitted one of the thicker gaskets (ie a proper one) and it seemed to do the job

 

Well done all ,another TLB feel the love thread

 

Im currently thinking yep - cover a bit twisted - crap gaskets and pushrod tube seals needed doing. Could have done with a good half day on it (in the daytime) really. Hindsight is a fabulous thing!

 

I've had issues with crap rocker gaskets in the engine rebuild kits And I always use the proper gasket sets!!

Currently got a load of gaskets on order from my American supplier, so we'll see what those are like when they get here!!

 

I dragged three out of my spares locker two were thin weedy looking affairs and the third, which I used was much thicker and wider and what i would have expected to see. The ones on Clives were the thin ones. Oh yes - almost forgot - I turned them the other way around with the tab at the top!

Neil and Clive managed to blag one for the other side and did a temporary silicone job on it ( gave hime two tubes just in case.) sounds like the major leak now is PRTseals

 

As @Dicky says, PRT seals now the main culprit & Clive happily on his way with a gallon & a half of oil in his spares kit. Thanks all, esp. Chris for the leg work & everyone for their offers of help. Your generosity is overwhelming.

@Dicky & @Clive Neilands last night, gone midnight


Morning Glory


Tools out again (thanks to Simon @absoluteVW for the loan of a timing light & having a thick gasket on the shelf)


Ready for the off about 10.15


Bon Voyage.........

 

I blame @thebusmonkey didn't he check it over and do a detailed report



EDIT: to update user

 

Tehe, Err no, that was me. We knew it was leaking but who'd figure on bent rocker covers? I'm like, "yeah easy fix", "5 minute job". Should have known better

 

oh n sorry clive i called you neil , errm us older members get names muddled some times and even the odd young one too ay @Tiny-Pie errm after much consideration errm sorry @Tiny-Pie i wont say it ever again promise

 

Go Clive go

Great news.... Just the journey on the other side now, where he'll almost be on his own...

Makes a change for a bay to be exported rather than imported....

 

I know but I dont like walking!

Twunt!

 

Is that a cross between ***** and @hailfrank ban me please!? If so that's not very nice.
