alright guys looking for some advise
I have been having trouble with the radiator hoses, I noticed that the small top rad hose was leaking slightly and kept an eye on it, I tried taking it off and getting a good seal but it burst on me a few days later sending steam everywere in the highstreet , I wasnt too worried as it looked as if it was just the old hose giving up the ghost, but from what she was like before the rebuild the hoses seem to have some serious pressure going through them now, I tried bleeding the system as much as possible but the hoses actualy bulge out quite alot, the second hose I have just put on has started leaking a week later, im just more concerned with the excessive pressure that I didnt notice before rebuild at all.
also I was checking the oil etc and I took the leads out just to clean around the rocker cover and found that the first one was completely full of oil, you cant realy see from the picture but you get the idea, would this likely be the seals on the inside of the rocker cover that could be causing this?
I have only done about 600 miles on the engine
thanks for any help.
