Hi All,
Just back after a 25 mile run round the doors so to speak & about to reset the tappets on my 59 250cc Clipper, when taken the rocker box cover off a bit surprised with the amount of oil lying the around the top end, not as much as I thought, might just be me, had the roker box cover off 5-10 minutes after getting back.
Remember reading somewhere you can increase the oil supply hole in the bottom rocker block upto 3mm i think it said. Anybody tried this & did it work !
I had a look at the oil pressure valve next to the oil filler when the engine was running, did not see any oil leaking out but it is difficult to check.
I did clean out this small valve when doing the engine rebuild but did Not Check the valve seat!!
Anybody know how to re-seat this from the filler cap!!
