I am looking for two rocker box covers - I take it they are identical? If not then, one left and one right please...

Let me know via a PM

Many thanks,

John

Hi Danny,

You'r a bit late or I'm a bit slow at updating threads!

I actually get a couple of rocker box covers a while back and I am in the process of figuring out how I am going to alter them to allow me to adjust the valves without taking the covers off along with the oil return tubes. This particular aspect of adjusting valve clearance (which they knew would happen frequently) seems stupid.... The oil return tube is relatively inaccessible to clean all the way round before you take the cover off and pull the pipe and rubber seal off the crankcase - might be difficult for you to clean but dirt can find it with no trouble! The hole into the crankcase and the engine oil is immediately available to any dirt you did not clean off......

So my thoughts were to alter a set of rocker covers along the lines of contemporary motorcycles and just have some small covers over the relevant bits that you remove.

Still working on suitable sizes of holes and covers and fixings.

John

Thanks John, I was just looking through the wanted threads and saw your post, I am still sorting through the bits and pieces I have and had two rocker covers spare, Have more than enough to restore one haffy and would part out the other. I have yet to enjoy working on the engine yet as I am doing rust repairs. regards Danny
