    Bolt on rocker covers, yes or no?

    Have damaged 1 of my rocker covers and cant get it to stop leaking (have even used some blue hylomar :oops: ) and have been looking around for new covers. From C&C a complete bolt on set (2 covers, gaskets and all nuts/bolts required) works out the same price as 2 covers, 2 gaskets and 2 new...

    Jobs while the engine's out?

    Change all breather pipes. Change all fuel lines set / reset valve clearances (so much easier with the engine on the floor) Set / reset points (again easier when you can see what your doing) Change the oil in the air filter / oil bath filter

    Still got a 'dead' cylinder

    Valve clearances, I had exactly the same thing, engine started 1st time, idled nice and smooth but load it up and no power. The inlet valved itself fully so the adjuster had un-adjusted itself fully so the valve never opened, might be worth re-checking all valves just in case

    Engine Fire, Thousand & one questions !

    Gap in my rock and roll bed

    Guessing that the gap is so that when your opening / closing the bed you dont have to squash the cushions. If its all good when the bed is open then i would put a throw or something over it to hide the gap
