Got new grommets to refit valve cover. They are identical to the old ones, just plumper and softer. -5 in my workshop today so they might just need warming up, but before I start:
the grommets should just be a push fit over the bolt ridge so that they sit between the collar and the head?
Reason for asking is that feels very unlikely given the resistance I’m meeting at the bolt collar and the old ones are so compressed, cracked and hard there would be no point re-using.
Is there a trick to this?
Cheers, Stu
