[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 120259, member: 49"] Hi Michel, I am off to my father's house today, but some quick advice before I go - on your 'A' Comet leak: 1. Remove feed pipe (E88/2). 2. Remove alloy rocker cover so you can see what is happening inside. 3. Make sure there is [I]at least some slack at the tappets[/I] (valve fully closed) so rocker is not under bending strain. 4. Remove E28/1 Rocker Pivot Pin. 5. Then put it back [I]without the fibre washer[/I] to make sure it goes fully home without leaving a gap where the washer was. (This way you know that the washer is being compressed when fitted). 6. Remove Pivot Pin again, fit new washer and favourite gasket cement. 7. Refit parts again. Hope this helps, Peter B Bristol, UK.
