There's an o-ring on the coolant pipe that comes out through the top of the rocker cover that you'll want to replace.

Is this the o-ring you mean Chris?

Yep, that's the one. It's well worth taking the time to clean up the hole around it before pulling thye pipe out as a load of crap tends to get down there and you son't want it in the engine.


Annoyingly it now looks like I'll only be able to come for the morning. I only had one thing in my cllendar for the whole of March, and now Iv'e got 3 things on the same flipping day!

The M6 allen screw that holds it in tends to fill with water in the socket hole and corrode, so change it for a nice stainless one.

I'll bring plenty of stainless and stuff.

Swmbo is going to bake extra cake supplies. Probably bend the back axle with all this extra cake and that  :lol:

Errr, no, Martin. That was ChrisG who was only staying for the morning. Might have to pop down to Sainsburys for some horse burgers when the breakfast fare runs out. I think something went pear-shaped when I quoted part of his text.

Unfortunately Ali I  won't be able to make it now. I'm flying out to France to help my mate with his house refurb on the 23 March. Shame as I would've liked to have watched how the valve check was done and got my injectors balanced as well. I hope somebody takes a few pictures of the procedure to put up in the knowledge base.
