Hey everyone,
I have a crack in one of my valve tappet covers. Coincidentally, this cover is placed on a cylinder that is misfiring (but this could also be due to a clogged idle circuit in the carbs - I'm adressing that now).
I was wondering if this broken valve tappet cover has any influence on the performance of the engine. Of course I understand that oil could leak out of the engine because of this crack, but are there any other influences? I don't know if the camshaft and valve area of the engine should be at a certain pressure and this crack prevents that, but that would have an influence on all cylinders...
Does anyone have an opinion about this?
Kind regards
