Title: stupid question?(camcover o-rings)
Post by: albitz on 18 March 2009, 13:42:48
The 16 little o-rings that seal the holes where the bolts go,presumably they go between the underside of the bolt and the camcover? there was no sign of any of these when I took the covers off,so Im a bit unsure! ::)

Yes.

Double check, as after time they go hard, and look like they are part of the camcover - they is a obvious indentation for them, if thats not there, use a small screwdriver to hook the old ones out

I think I might have found them,underside of camcover,like little bits of hard plastic rather than o-rings? :-/ ::)

If they are the size of your replacement o rings, thats them.  Come out looking like plastic washers...

 ;D ;D-o/s now back on,n/s cover cleaned up and ready to go back,time for a cup of tea and a bit of OOFing.not bothered if it gets finished before dark tbh,just taking my time (and getting interrupted regularly ::)). :y
want to spend as much time as it takes to clean the breathers properly while re-assembling as well.
There was so much oil in the plug wells,I reckon an American invasion of north Essex was imminent ::) ;D
