Gave Ed G. a call tonight after checking out his revised workshop blog, now called " Black Coffee". While talking about all different aspects of shop life and other things. One subject touched upon was the early MAC and MSS rocker boxes; inside the rocker arm is a thin washer. This washer helps control the level of oil. This washer is held inside via a conical spring. Ed had mention that sometimes people have stretched the spring to add pressure onto the washer. however, this is a bodge and not a proper fix due to it changing the function of the spring.
Strangely, I never looked much into the rockers when they were disassembled. So a quick dash to the Iron MSS project storage box to check out the rockers. Even more so, I didn't even notice the washer internal of the rocker. Not only that, but the spring in my very much worn out and bodged iron MSS was stretched out to add pressure onto the washer. Always something to learn. Thanks Ed!
