Oil Leak at head

[fermin]

ACE & LOWES/Home Depot nearby, was able to find replacement metric screws for the two top carb screws that had been stripped by the PO.  Used tricks learned here using valve grinding paste.

fermin,  you referred to the washers that BMW keeps saying to replace all the time.

Those are the crush washers (or "crush" washers, depending on what kind you get) that are used to seal the oil drain and fill caps.

The ones I like the best are copper and hollow in the middle, and actually crush.

The other kind are aluminum, and are of square section, and they might be o.k., but I really like the copper!

You can get them here:
