If in doubt ...... Flat out ??
Replied by skywalker65 on topic Spark plug tube oil seals
I replace the rocker cover gasket and do all 4 of the spark plug gaskets whilst your in there. Rubber hardened with age and heat. If 1 is leaking then it won't be long before the others start. It's also good workshop practice 
If in doubt ...... Flat out ??

It is if someone else is paying
About £60 to check the tappets just replacing a few bits of rubber
Which is why checking the tappets has been on my "When I get a Round Tuit" list for many years (If you don't know what a Round Tuit is- ask your grandparents)
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

So true.
And why fix it if it ain't broke comes to mind.
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.
