Oh right. I must have missed that over the decades. Thanks for letting me know that only Scottish garages penny pinch.

Thanks Flossie. I've just never seen it before. Was almost as much as the job
Great start to the week for me. Hate living near a construction site. Can't prove it was their **** that went through my window though, so just got to eat the excess (looks like £115, which damn near stopped my heart).
It is the worst when they charge you for a pot of copper slip, when you know full well they used a dab of it, the rest goes back on their shelf.

I don't know the V8 but stem seals can be changed in situe if the rings are good using compressed air or rag to hold the valves in place.
Ah well we're wading and paddling again in South Yorks. Rivers Don and Rother both burst their banks. Had to run the missis to her dads earlier and a nice big flooded stretch so we had to wade through. Unlike @Mark Piercy checked along for deep spots and straight through loverly jubbly
Had leak in roof during night so waiting for my mate who owns his own roofing company and whom I trust in these matters. Can't see any damage so hopefully just the wind forced a bit of rain through near where stainless chimney for gas fire goes through roof tiles

How do you compress the springs without a spring compressor to get the collets out?

Common place to leak is near the eaves, the felt rots there first. I've had that on all my roofs here, undertray is cheap and works.Ah well we're wading and paddling again in South Yorks.

Make or buy something, I've seen it used on yoo tube or somewhere. I've got a good conventional spring compressor if you need one to borrow.
They were done last year. The water mark on the bedroom ceiling is directly below where the chimney pipe goes through tiles so assuming thats the culprit

A little tool that hooks under a nearby bolt or the rocker shaft. I also used to be able to compress the springs with an open ended spanner and hand pressure on motorcycles.
This is Rotherham train station @jondor needed with his boat
i've got a conventional one too
i wish i could say for certain what the issue is.. as said, i'm hell bent on replacing the gasket
but it strikes me as odd that valve seals would suddenly 'go' on a car thats in use..

Nufink,I can't get out of the drive at the moment,a neighbour is having a dangerous tree cut down so blocking the close. Didn't have time for photos, cutting down is quick it's the clearing up that takes time.
