Because of where the leak occurs it will often take lots of miles before it becomes obvious.
The whole job went very smooth, the manual says to remove the rocker shafts and rockers, I left those in place, can't understand why they tell you to do that unless it's for inspection reasons ???

All went well, thanks for the replies
