Hello Chaps,
Just a quick update on the problem I reported just before Christmas, I anealed the copper gasket that had failed and refited it with welseal and it still leaked. I took it back off again but this time there was substantially less oil on the top of the piston than the first time, (suggesting Mr Wright knows what he's talking about)😂😂
I had a spare new copper gasket and this time I anealed it before fitting even though it felt soft at the start, afterwards it was very pliable indeed, Again I used a very thin coating of welseal on all surfaces as recommended by Ron, I torqued everything a couple of times and it looks like the Jobs a good-un. What did we recommend on running in miles 400-500?
A big thank you to all for your help and Happy New year to Everyone.
