Found in rocker cover
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??

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.
