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

[albitz]

I shall have a look and report back.

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...

  :ycheers,wasnt sure if I should dig them out as they didnt look much like the new o-rings,but I just tried 1 and it fits o.k.

Now get back out there, and finish the job

  -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 ).
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

If you're going to do one of them in daylight, I'd pick n/s!
o/s alright in the dark.

[albitz]

Both sides done,plenum back on,just wires/pipes etc to finish off,but the smell of roast lamb brought me indoors at 5.30.will finish the odds &ends in the morning,thanks to The Boy for giving the right info just when it was needed.
