My question is I've just replaced my v1/2 heads for some v3/4 ones but the new heads didn't come with the rocker cover bolts so I used the ones from the v1/2,I seem to have a oil leak from both the rocker covers,I'm thinking there may be a difference in length of the bolts etc,anyone know???

 

Did you use new gaskets? And sealant?

 

Yep,thinking as it's both sides are leaking they may be a different length,I surpose adding some washers to the bolts should give it abit more pull up before the stepped part of the bolt bottoms out on the head

 

Could be. Did you use new bolt seals aswell

 

Yep new everything and three bond sealed them too,

 

Cam cover bolts are the same length.

What did you torque them to?

 

Cheers mick,looks like they may be coming back off then

 

Did you use your original v1/2 rocker covers ?

 

No

 

Fixed,two washers on each bolt and it's pulled the rocker covers in,no leaks,job done
