We had an ongoing problem with the 100 smoking when pulling away
from stop signs and hot starts.<br>
Problem: No one would follow me on drives<br>
Since the rocker assembly was gushing like crazy,<br>
I borrowed a refurbished rocker assembly, installed on engine,
adjusted valves, >>><b> no more smoking!</b><br>
Problem: worn rocker bushes overwhelming valve stem seals - fixed!<br>
Thanks to Terry Cowan at Toy Shop Restorations in Bonita, CA. He
always has refurbished Healey spares on the shelf.<br>
Next stop: California Healey Week - Yosemite...<br>

<div>Thank you for the reply. </div>
<div>Another thing -- pulling away from stops, it smokes
excessively !</div>
<div>I thought the rocker problem might be overwhelming the
seals. </div>
<div>New bushes first, then we will replace valve seals. </div>

100, with the D Welch head, we have a problem with one of

On only one of the arms, the oil gushes out like a
fountain, the others just ooze out.<br>
Could it be the bush orientation or ?<br>
