If you have the standard pressed steel rocker covers you really need the proper load spreaders rather than ordinary washers (imho).

note some are straight and others a bit bent and the 2.9 engine has 8 per side

i saw these and wasn't sure as the kit is 2 bolts short

[Barkychoc]

Email the seller he will do you 8 - I've used his bolts before

Definitely go for the ones with the proper load spreaders, I can assure you that you will have problems with the washers only.

hi i don't suppose anyone got 1 bolt and 1 loadspreader washer they don't need if they replaced them
don't really want to spend £13 for one of each

Thanks

Will go and put one in the glove box now so I don't forget Glen.

Spivvy, yours will be is in post today if I pass a Post Office on my travels (not sure a standard stamp will not do with it being a bit "lumpy")


Don't want postage refunded but please drop a pound or two in the next charity box you pass
