had the rocker cover off tonight and have run a tap through it .. seems to have made a thread ... put a plug in it to get me home... felt like it had tightened up sufficiently aswell my mechanic was a bit happier after he had looked at it ....

its comin apart this year to have a bit of a look at .. all the oil seals etc so might see if it needs helicoiling ....

was a bit stressed when it came out looking a bit silver on the end
