My initial thinking is WHY? I know its great to experiment, but why do you think water or meth injection may be required for your road car? I assume that this IS a road car? If your 4.5 big valve TVR engine is set up with the right carb it should do just fine in your MGB. If you want to push that en...

Why use old cork gaskets - horrid things - use the much newer rubber ones that are slotted sit down on the edge of the head - use a bit of sealant ans the metal col-lets prevent overtightening and the ribber squishing out like cork can do. Use the new rubber ones with the collets then Garry. The Co...

You're right when you say there are two L shaped drain holes but they're on the upper edge of the heads and so do not come into play when g force builds up and the oil pools along the lower edge. I'm getting oil leaks along the outer edge of the rocker cover gaskets which then drip onto the headers...

Are you sure that the underlying cause is not excessive crankcase pressure? Chris. Excessive crankcase pressure can cause all sorts of unusual problems as you know Chris. (Long time no speak mate. I hope you are well ? ) But what excess crankcase pressure cannot do is prevent build up of oil in the...

Yes - having just had my manifold, rocker covers and valley cover gasket off I cannot see how oil can stay up in the rockers - each head has two large elongated L shaped holes that are about 2" long and about 1" wide - in addition to the 1cm dia holes at either end of the head. The L shaped holes d...

Re: Too much oil in rocker covers!
I know this topic has been around for a long time but I need advice. My 4.6 is great for the club level circuit racing I'm doing but the faster I go the more oil is collecting in the rocker covers. I've seen and heard of a number of "fixes". Grub screws in the cylinder head oil passages - what diam...
