Mine is the aluminum crush washer. Maybe I should replace
them since the name "crush" means they are flattened the
first time you put them on. I was very careful with the
o-rings and didn't forget any. Of course that doesn't
mean I didn't get a bum o-ring. Never replaced the ones
on the oil feed line...don't see any leakage from there,
but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Thanks for the ideas.

Which style "thingy" do you have. The early Eldo version was a hex bolt head with an aluminum crush washer below. The later version was a 10mm allen socket head with an o-ring underneath. The o-rings were notorious for hardening and cracking with heat and age. Only good for 2 or 3 removal cycles at best. Common leak source. The older aluminum crush washer was usually pretty good. How about the aluminum crush washers on your oil feed line? Good condition? Is it possible you forgot or damaged an o-ring under the rocker arm carrier frame? Patrick |
