Have a look at this link regarding the NGK numbering system. Hope this clears up the spark plug letters for you all.

Thanks very much for that! Been searching online for many years (since soon after i binned my last paper NGK catalogue in fact) for that, how i missed it i don't know but i did!

Bookmarked it now and thanks again!

Set aside a day and take your time and you will be fine

Thankyou. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Don't forget yours will be different in appearance on the inlet manifold etc as you have the B230E. other than that it's pretty much the same.

Spark plugs gaped to 0.65. Were a bit out on my Ngk plugs. I looked at the pcv but it looks bloody difficult to get out. Can't even see how its bolted on. Ill keep trying

The more important bit than the oil separator on your engine is the flame trap which sits on top of the oil separator and just pulls off. Remove that, separate the two halves and clean inside including the stubs but especially the filter gauze which is likely solid!

Thankyou for that. I think i can get to that easily enough. I will by some carb cleaner tomorrow and give it a go.
Thankyou

Cleaned the flame trap out and connected a bit of hose to the oil separator and gave that a good squirt.
Idle is definitely better. Glad I gave it a go. I have to admit the hose was pretty tricky to get back in the hole where the air intake goes but I managed it.
Thankyou ever so much once again.
All the best Joe
