Laverdaroo:
highly likely.................. ;) ;D
K2-K6:
For the copper washers, heat to red and quench in cold water (annealing) to make them soft for those that don't all ready know "how to suck eggs" :)
Then they'll have the best chance of taking any discrepancy out of the surface to seal it effectively.
Laverdaroo:
Morning,
Familiar with the heating and qunching but I was under the impression that was for when you reuse copper?
Would I have to reanneal them as they'll be new or are you suggesting doing that as a matter of course?
Bryanj:
Shouldnt need to aneal new washers mate, and the weeping is because oil feed to the cam bearings is via the ends so oil can leak from that bolt.
Personally after a rebuild i leave the end caps and brackets off until i have spun the engine over enough to see oil come out at both ends, then fit the brackets and covers
Laverdaroo:
I thought so but K2K6 threw me a bit there with his post.
Thats the plan Bryan, I'm just making sure I have what I need to get the engine back together after the spin up and just want the right kit as and where required.....as yer do!
. When I saw them I new there should be some form of seal behind etc and remember speaking to you about it earlier in the year mate, washer, there wasnt any on there as I said earlier hence the question. TBH, there wasnt much of anything of any use realistically ;D ;D ;D ;D
