Trouble putting Rocker Box Cover back on...

<< < (3/3)

Athame57:
While I'm learning the tappets bit, I'm waiting for a new Oil Feed Pipe. (Thanks Steven Cooper again!) I discovered one was bent, perhaps courtesy a cracked plastic mount. Just wondering if that could have been causing the 'tappet noise' I've been hearing.

Nurse Julie:
If the oil feed pipe still had oil coming out of it, it shouldn't have caused the tappety noise.How bent is the pipe and how did it get bent?. The plastic grommet, even if broken, shouldn't cause the pipe to bend.

Athame57:
I don't know why it's bent, first time I've ever seen it. I'll send a piccie tomorrow when it's light again.

Athame57:
Well, here is the pic of the oil feed pipe with a bend in the end. Meanwhile, can anything really be done about surface rust on internal parts, the flash seems to have made it look worse than meets the eye? I've put some oil over it for now, I want to get it closed up soon!

Nurse Julie:
Good thing you have sourced another bar George, that is sooooo far away from where it should to be, due to the bend, it looks like it is almost impinging on the valve springs. Don't worry too much about the rust, wipe off what you can.
