    Yes indeed, it left no trace. The oil is still clear from the last change so no black trail. I did put a tell-tale there and it came away clean and dry (still is) but after tightening the cover T-bolt a bit more the seep/leak has clearly stopped.

    OK it is time to "fess-up". It was the rocker gasket after all. :) The LH screw-down T-Bolt was not as tight as the RH side one. One extra quarter turn (to match the resistance felt on the RH side one) and the leak stopped. So well done all...

    Check the edge of the door is vertical with a spirit level, in the closed position and again at 90 degrees open position. This will indicate if the hinges need adjusting.

    ... which is why it isn't clever to swop the lifters around!! Camshafts are fascinating things. I had a member of my club who designed his own cam and had it ground to his spec by Kent or Someone. It ran fine. I put a high torque cam in a Pinto...

    Different makes charge more as their kit is betterer. Price matching to a price point or competitor sometimes. Either was its betterer for the environment if peeps use one charger and set of batteries across multiple tools.

    Nitriding or summat maybe, but they would all need to be treated or they would all wear out in nothing flat. usually heat treament, induction heating for instance. And as mentioned above they have to be run in properly with the special lubricant.

    3.5 engines were renowned for getting through cam shafts. No idea why though.

    Untill the OP comes back and answers some questions. We are just guessing. If a new cam was needed then he could probably get it redone there, they have great engineering capabilities there. J
