I find it easier to remove the bearing cap, or at least loosen it, which really means removing it to put new seals and sealant in place. Chris. :whs Those T seals vary with manufacturer (cheap ones shrink) V...

Check those push-rods are true if they have been making contact with the heads they are tubular and may be bent now, you can safely drill the holes out to 12/14mm but like mentioned better to custom elongate them so you only remove required material

Ah yes sorry, too use to seeing top hatted blocks or in my case severe deck reduction to the point my chamfer is near non existent, your correct of course 8-) that chamfer wasnt one of Rovers greatest moments and not necessary IMO I think that they put the huge chamfer on the bores so that the blok...

Other than that V8 Developments sell 96mm gaskets.
