Rockerbox Gasket
Bryanj:
I would be checking very carefully for hairline craks in that area or gasket surface damage.
I see no reason that you could not use any decent quality bolt, even studding with a nut

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your replies will get out a magnifying glass and have a good look for cracks etc.K2 K6 thanks for your offer.I will visit my favourite breakers in the new year I am sure he will help me out but if not I will come back to you.I have always sealed head gaskets to stop the weeping but hey for the rocker this is a first but I guess there is a first for everything sometime.
Thanks again and have a good new year.

Bit late now.but I have always used threebond gasket material. I believe it is the closest thing to Hondabond, if not the same. Also, it is a nice silver grey and does not show up in the joints

Just an update guys
Cleaned all surfaces found two very little gouges if you like on the head surface could only see them with a glass me getting bad eyes rubbed them with real light paper got them out.The new gasket seemed thicker to me and I also sealed it.Have now ran it for about an hour on and off and seems to be dry.I can see oil both sides through the tappet covers and its squirting all over.I have not put the exhausts on yet don't want them getting rusty in all this damp weather forgotten what a four sounds like without exhausts I must have awoken the village up boy noisy or what.Anyway as soon as it warms up a bit will fit pipes and take it for a spin and check again for the leak.
All the best

Hi Guys
Well yesterday was warm enough for my first ride of the year 12 degrees.Silly grin on face again and no oil leaks as yet thumbs up for sealing the rocker gasket.Thanks for all your tips.Hope the UK warms up for you guys soon.Next outing for me is a 2 day parts jumble in Niort in March loads of bikes,bits,beer and rock bands reminds me of the old days sleep where you drop no hassles.
Cheers
Bitsa
