Wow that looks like a terrible idea.

well as i don't see any oil i would say its acceptable until the next rebuild. especially if the cause is the housing which is major work

Sounds like you've got it! Great tip on using the new rocker shafts too...

Yeah, I know, I'll miss the possible fun of fixing a rocker shaft leak.

Crap.

What now?

well .. I think when my back is less sore ... take the valve covers off again and see if I still have a leak from the same rocker shaft first ... these things are elusive and I might find my repair fine and its leaking from somewhere else. If its leaking from somewhere lese like ANOTHER rocker shaft move on to that one.

I am going to order replacement rocker shafts from the host and seals again and try it one more time with a brand new rocker shaft if its leaking from the same one.

its just kinda hard on my 50+ y/o back climbing under there then trying to twist around with a flashlight and dental mirror to see whats going on.
