that reminds me... i had to take the plenum off to locate the GB breather so i took the opportunity to clean the crankcase breathers. put it all back together and noticed that the two o rings from breather bridge to throttle body are leaking vacuum.... checked this with carb cleaner.

only replaced these a few months back and they've never been disturbed since. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on popping a layer of black cam cover sealant round it?

You'll only have to clean it off when you fit a new O seal  ;) ;)
