Hi, Barry -
I used Permatex #9A non-hardening sealant, which is impervious to oil and
gasoline. I smeared it on both sides of the washer and under the bolt head.
Hylomar would probably work as well.

Subject: Oil leak on lifter cover
Looks like I have an oil leak around the bolt on the middle and rear
lifter access panels. The Cu washers are there but original. Other than
new washers what other methods might be used to stop the leak. . This
is a complete rebuild with about 100 miles on it. Barry Pate 1967 BJ8
