Default 400 oil leak

Ash,
Ok understood and will try the Loctite and that may take up a good part the
oil leak / seepage. Re pistons coming out, is something that I will do only
if I have to. So far I am at about 300 miles / lit oil 40w , and with
excellent oil pressure, I hope I am OK for some time.
At that point I would probably tidy up the 100A engine and put that in.
Thanks again for this chat pages input on bearings and now I have bought
spares.
I am used to the fiddle of rods up from the bottom and pistons down and
sliding the pins in flush with the block. Alfa 6C engines are like that.
Sorry about the weight of the Bentley bits and age creeping up. I am
playing with a Knight sleeve valve engine. Parts are also pretty heavy.
We will never learn.....but the alternative to getting old is not that
attractive!
