While refitting the exhaust rocker box, again, I noticed that there`s a gap between the inside of the case and the cylinder head socket bolt.
In the `72 T120 spares book, there`s a spacer 71-2598.
On some of the suppliers sites, its described as `washer thick`.
These are missing from my engine, and have never been fitted, as far as I know, which maybe explains the mis-alignment between the rocker box holes and the bolt holes. (Distorted rocker box?) These are absent on the T140.
Anyone know the thickness of these spacers?
And why are the bolts so long, 1 1/2" under head? 1" would do.
In fact all of the head/rocker bolts seem to be excessively long, or perhaps its a feature of the 1974 T120V bitsa.
