What do I need to fix my oil leaks?

Drew400:
Thank you all for your wise council.

Bryanj - the copperised ones are the ones I was thinking of. I'll check out Hondaman too.

I think we can all agree, there's probably no rush to do this as I think we've all now got lots of spare time on our hands!

Stay well everyone.

You don't need new copper washers on the head studs. Heat them up to cherry red and quench them. This annealing process softens them so they seal better.
Hope it all goes well with the strip and you don't find anything narsty.

Drew400:
Thanks Mike, will do. I'm hopeful it will still be like a clean sewing machine in there!

Bryanj:
Unfortunately they are not solid copper but i think coppered steel

Drew400:
Ah, thank you experts all. Cheer, D.
