Post subject:  Tappet cover leaks
On the tappet covers is a rubber grommet that the securing bolt goes through. The 'full' gasket set for my motor never had these, so I used the old ones...... :cry: what a mistake that was!

Now both are leaking and I have to pull my twin HS2's and LCB to fix them :x

Can you buy these grommets? Karcraft maybe?

which holds the tappet covers in.

Early type covers (850, Deluxe etc) used a fibre washer. Was not as good as the grommet ring thingy. Bolts were longer too.
