Laverdaroo:
Haven’t taken it off yet but I’m aware it’s copper on top and alloy underneath, both sets were new but I’ll have it to bits tomorrow and see if the alloy one made it under there.I’m pretty sure it did but I’ll check.
It was going to be either the rings or those washers in some configuration but didn’t know if there was anything else to be wary of and to keep an eye out for

Check to see if you nipped an O-ring when pushing on the cover. Also make sure you didn't strip out the thread in the cylinder head, easy to do if it's full of oil and you force the bolt down the hole when it's full. Been there, done that.
Laverdaroo:
Will do, I’ll get it cleaned up tmrw and have a look, I’ll report back

I have had similar trouble on some of my bikes, check the little bracket is not misshapen where the washers fit or it will never seal.
Laverdaroo:
I was cogitating that possibility whilst thinking about it during the washing up last night
It’s a possibility and if you’ve suffered Mick, I’ll be sure to check it out.
