Hi John,

The photos in your post are fine.  Did you use any sealant or just metal to metal?

Dave.

Hello Dave.

Just a bit of grease, to help hold the small ones in place, hope you understand how I bent the comb to allow me to get the moles on it,  and the moles are the ones with flat jaws, normally used for welding.

Hi,

It just so happens that I have never used the 'comb' when fitting a rocker box.  I do have one somewhere but always found it a pain to use and it always messed up the gasket goo.  One advantage of the copper gaskets with a bit of grease is that if they move a bit they can but just slide back in to place.
If you are going to the Awards Dinner take a set with you for me.

Dave.

Hello Dave.

Okay mate, will do. See you there.

I have fitted solid copper gaskets to the rocker boxes on both my A10s (ally head) but am going back to paper due to poor sealing.
