Nigel,
Sorry to hear you have found a “gusher” under the bonnet!
You wrote :-
Some more liquid gasket over the 2 half-moons (what are they there for ?)
I would suggest, to allow line reaming of the camshaft bearings during manufacture.
I must get the head gasket done also …
Its been just a very minor leak for 30,000 miles so I cant
complain.
Have you tried one of those “cure leak” products that some of our trans
Atlantic friends appear to use with some success ? It may last the winter out
that way.
Unfortunately there’s no way to do it outside this weather so I
guess I’m going to be skint for a while !
If you need to borrow any kit when you eventually get around to doing it, let
me know - I’m only an hour along the M 6 / A 14 from Cov.
