oil leak below barrels

<< < (2/3) > >>

Nurse Julie:
Yes, the washers under the long head nuts have Dowty type washers fitted, ie built in rubber washer in the centre of the washer.

I know the ones you mean. Mr. Silver has them. Would be nice if that's all but the way my lucks running at the moment I suspect not but changing them wouldn't be a bad idea while I'm doing it.

Dave487:
The copper ones on my engine are pure copper so I annealed them by heating to red hot then plunging in water. It seemed to work ok as I don't have any leaks (yet)

Nurse Julie:

That's interesting as mine are copper covered steel. I wonder, as yours is an F1 and mine is a F2, if they changed them between models?

Nurse Julie:
These washers are bloody expensive. For the 10 copper and the 2 Dowty it works out at £46 a set.
