Hello, an other little query i have ref oil under the rocker cover, yesterday just out of interest i removed both rocker covers, and was a little surprised to find very little oil on the head, the rockers and shaft were covered in what looked like dirty old dried out oil. this did not look good. ran the engine on tick over and no oil was appearing from any where.
Question is can i remove the 4 bolts that hold the rocker shaft, lift up the whole assembly, and get to any sort of oil passage etc, to try and clean /un block them, or is this a no no?
Second question, still related to oil, a few days a go my oil pressure gauge just stopped working i have earthed out the wire to it and got a full deflection of the gauge, from what i have read this tells me its the transmitter that has packed up, i have been looking at the transmitter for a while and cant see for the life of me how to get at it with out removing the whole oil pump assembly, my oil warning light still works, so its not a desperate immediate problem.
any advise or help would be great. regard Steve
