Re: Oil leak from Manifold to exhaust joint.

Those compression figures are acceptable so in that case I would recommend that you replace the valve guides with the correct length grooved ones and top hat seals for the inlet valves and plain guides for the exhaust valves. Check for wear on the exhaust valve stems. Thanks for all your help mate,...

MMOC Picnic Camping

Hi everyone,
Could someone please confirm the toilet situation when camping at Kelmarsh this weekend please?. We are coming in a family tent, will there be portable toilets on site or is it just an Elsan disposal point?
Cheers
John.
