I have a spare motor in Blue at the moment while my other motor gets a fresh up.
I replaced the rocker cover seal today due to a bit of a leak there.
Found a broken round thing in the cover. I wont call it a washer.
It is about 2mm thick and 2 mm wide and the inside diameter is about that of a valve stem.
Motor is purring
Got me stumped - but them i aint gone through my manuals.
Just thought i would ask here first.

It is a valve seal
Looked in my book and it seems to sit under the retainer for the collets?
Cant see what it seals against??
Are they important??

Don't worry about it Barry, it's a valve stem seal, If they have been fitted they always go hard and break and fall off,
I have never bothered fitting them.
