The push rod tube seals have always been an issue on these heads.
It seems they have been riding up on this edge.
I was going to just break out the die grinder,
but I thought it deserved something a little nicer than that.

So I made up this cutter.
It chucks into the drill press and pilots on the head hole.
Finished hole allows the german seals to seat with no sealant....but may use a dab of Curil T to be sure.

Superbly presented Pete - new paintwork looks fantastic. Some great runs I saw from the stands today - happy with the performance? Engine freshen up was worthwhile obviously (or at least clutch probs from willowbank fixed)?
👍
