Otto Head Gaskets
Before I replace the head on a Mk2 Square Four, is there a need for gasket sealant, other than the bead of silicone around the pushrod tunnels, as recommended by Bruce Longman?

Re: Breather tube sizing - MK1
Hello Cam, I've no experience of using a larger i.d. breather on a Square Four, but I do wonder that, if you are losing too much oil through the existing one, have you considered routing the pipe from the back of the timing case upwards rather than downwards?

So, is the best way to use Ebay with their huge customer base to find a buyer, then fiddle things so Ebay doesn't get paid any fees?

Hello Gui, From the videos, the pressure increases to 'reasonable' levels as you rev the engine. I wonder what engine speed corresponds to the better readings. I have often read (not specifically about Square Fours, mind,) that an oil pressure equating to 10 psi per thousand rpm when running is cons...
