Is that a new O ring on the starter motor spigot?
I doubt they ever leak ? .... just looks a bit flat in its groove.

I think it's my dodgy photo Clem, it is a new one, it is just sitting proud, not by much..... but just.
Clem2112:
I was paranoid about all the seals being renewed when I rebuilt mine....no leaks to date.
Now I just want it running right.... I suspect the cylinder head work that I offloaded, through lack of confidence in my skills, might not have been done quite thoroughly enough. This year's challenge.

I'm finding it's not difficult to get paranoid when building an engine and I'm definitely not the paranoid type!!!.
I will have replaced all the seals, O rings etc on this build, no point in not replacing them in my mind. Thinking that all the rubber bits are almost 40 years old, except the gear change lever seal that I changed last year, they are all due for a change.
Nurse Julie:
Just a tantalising glimpse....full update tomorrow ;D ;D ;D
