Andy,

Thanks for that information, you have been a great help. And as you say the car does have both stickers. I was just not aware on the amount that a normall engine would use. But it sounds very like your engine, and has done the same miles give or take.

Just out of interest does your car drip oil? Im pretty sure oil from the cam seals would start to drip, if i left it and did not wipe it off. Do you notice your car smoking at any time?

Im off to the ring in a week, so dont realy have the time to do the stem seals. But as i say it does not burn much anyway on the overrun.

But thanks for the reasurance. So I might have to get some shares in SILKOLENE lol.
