Just running the engine in and it is going nice. i am getting some bubbling under the washer of the two center front head nuts



how do i stop this?
I know the oil comes up these two studs but i thought the torq of the nuts would seal

The last bit you put on the rocker cover it has a breather pipe coming off it.I was lazy and did not change the seal thinking no oil gets in it it wont leak.It does get oil mist and starts dribbling down and eventually comes out in the middle exhaust holes.Also make sure you have replaced the front tappet cover oil rings they can weep too.That was my problem don't know if its the same for you.
Cheers
Bitsa

all done now plus ordered a few new tappet cover o rings just to make sure.
