    If you haven't the head off it yet,try getting your hands on some Forte oil seal conditioner.Really good stuff,will soften the hardest of seals.

    Great minds think alike, Dirty Nails.

    Put in a tube of Forte Seal Conditioner 270 miles ago. It's definitely helped, but someone has since told me that it takes close to 600 miles before it rejuvenates the seals. And works best if you take the vehicle on a long motorway journey after adding it to the engine.

    Do you know is this true?
