Re: Major oil leak
I have a couple of stupid questions. I have attached a photo. The spring tube in the middle of the photo (sorry i don't know what these are called). Which end do they go in? The end of the spring closest to the cylinder head or the end closest to the rocker arm? It would appear that i never replaced them when i put new springs in. I don't think this would have caused the leak, but i need to refit them.
The second stupid question, when fitting a new cylinder head gasket, which side goes to the engine block? The metal to the engine block and the material side to the cylinder head or is it the other way round? Just want to make sure what i done before is correct. Kinda clutching at straws as what is causing the leak.
As you've probably guessed, i have not done a lot of mechanical work before.
