What he said.. :) Also the pushrod tubes would not leak due to high oil pressure as they are not pressurised as such,but act only as a delivery means for oil to return to the sump,under crankcase pressure which is normally slightly above atmospheric pressure. Just check BOTH oil valves and replace t...

Haven't seen weathershields for a while...the insect screens I've only ever seen on one vehicle,so I would assume they would be hard to get.The rest of the stuff is fairly "common"
