Oil seal kit
Oddjob:
No problem, better to contribute and be slightly wrong than not contribute.

All that's missing off that set is the 6 pucks or pontrefract cakes as I call them, saying that I've always reused the old ones but that was back in the 80s when they were still comparatively new.

Oh that's interesting Ken, as I'll be doing a DS order for the pistons I might as well order the Vesrah kit from there while I'm paying postage.
I've just done all 9 crank clearance with plastigauge just to be on the safe side and as it was quite interesting, I took my time with it to guarantee my reads were accurate, they all came out at near on exactly the same readings - photos to follow. So I think I need to get the pistons ordered up for Bryan and drop them off with him but I'm fairly confident in saying the borpttonpm end is in pretty good health, just the top end that's taken a hammering which makes me wonder why.

Those crank reads are good though aren't they?
