I'm developing a theory...
If anyone remembers I had trouble fitting the chain housing because my overzealous JB weld application was pushing it away from the cam housing/heads. I filed down the JB weld but if I didn't go far enough and left it slightly proud, could this cause a lack of contact between the thrust plate and cam carrier sealing surface? The thing that's odd about this area is that the three tiny M6 bolts in the thrust plate are the only fasteners that set the alignment of the chain housing with regards to the cam carrier. These surfaces must be parallel and yet all the big fasteners in the chain housing are running E/W not N/S so to speak.
