<div dir="auto">Thanks for the reponses. On the road gauge indicates 70 psi, 40 idle. I agree the oil splashes everywhere ever since a friend ran his 57 Chevy in 1964 without valve covers cuz he wanted to see what would happen. What mess. I can remember my 68 MGB, gone now, making a mess when the rubber grommets under the cover nuts had perished. I'll re-rivet and try new Permatex the winter. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Stay safe,</div><div dir="auto">Dave W</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">59 :()</div><div dir="auto">59 MGA 1500</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Burlington WI </div><div dir="auto">"Pay It Forward"</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S8, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: PaulHunt73 <paulhunt73@virginmedia.com> </div><div>Date: 8/6/20 2:28 AM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: mgs@autox.team.net </div><div>Subject: Re: [Mgs] rivets without holes </div><div><br></div></div>

<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">Don't know why your rivets are leaking.
If you have correct clearances on the rocker shaft the oil should just dribble
out the rockers. Maybe you need a new rocker assembly. How is your
oil pressure?</div></div></blockquote>
