Do not even bother trying to use the older type gaskets. For some reason, I have no idea why, these invariably split and get pushed out from between the cover and the head. While there doesn't seem to be any fathomable reason for this behaviour, the mating surfaces are identical, the fasteners are in the same place, it's just "One of those things"! Purchase a pair of the Valpollini *Metal* gaskets. They last pretty much forever and won't squeeze out. Yep good advice, they are what I used. Ciao
pete roper Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 These are not the same as Phil's. There are two late type rocker covers which require different HT lead covers. The differences are purely cosmetic but be aware. 1

Also different to the ones in Doccs picture, the HT lesd tunnel is rounded rather than square. So which HT lead cover do I need, is it one or two piece? Thanks.
pete roper Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 The squarer ones like Phil's were used on the Griso and Sport 1200. They use a lead cover and a protective 'Puck' on the two outer, middle rocker cover bolts. The more round rocker covers were used on Bellagio, Breva, Norge and 'Breva Sport 1200' which is an odd parts-bin special. These use a single one piece lead cover. 1 2
Lucky Phil Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Download the 2 valve Griso parts manual from This old tractor and cross ref or order the parts you need. Thats what I did. Ciao 1
pete roper Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Nah. Griso 1100. The 8V-1200 is completely different.
