[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 169676, member: 485"] Lots more washers !, That washer fits the main feed and return oil lines at the bottom, Always good to have a stock of those, That's 2 on each union !. Rocker cap washers that's 10 to a Twin engine , 8 on the top and one for primary and one for gear selector top. Be careful not to tighten the oil union bolts too much , It is not a strong point on Vincents " Into Alloy ", And try and keep the washers dry as you fit them, If they get oil on them they can go weak, I have been trying Alloy washers with rubber inserts, Not sure if it's better, There is not much "Give " in them and you could over tighten them and strip the thread in the cases. Always handy to have T/Cover and Primary Cover Gaskets and the small one for ATD cover, If you take the timing cover off , Nice to replace the 4 rubbers that control the oil feeds to cams and Cylinder feeds , All small stuff but handy ?. It's a pain to send off for one small thing,, So I like to have stuff in stock, But where do you stop ? :) . The 2 Exhaust sealing washers where the pipes go into the C/head. [/QUOTE]
