There are two other common sources of oil loss on rootes engines. 1) One is the brass coupler to the rocker shafts. There are supposed to be some orings that seal the shafts to the coulpler. If they

Jarrid, I have never seen any o-rings installed (not a bad idea to cut some grooves for some) and I just checked the Rootes part manual and didn't see any listed. The 1600s & 1725s that I rebuilt nev

Every Rootes head Ive ever seen has a brass gooseneck with a very loose fitting to the rocker shafts. The rocker shafts themselves have a machined inverted conical surface that begs to have an o-rin

On the "T" to rocker shaft junctions, I use the same flat neoprene seals I use when I split front brake calipers for rebuild. No machine work necessary. Available here! Jim Leach Pacific Tiger Club
