[Healeys] Rocker Cover Poll

[Rick Wilkins]

I used to glue the gasket to the head and use light sealer on the top. reduces spills while adjust valves and such. Also keeps the lowest point sealed to help reduce leaks. 

For the record, I had an alloy cover most of the time, but it worked as well with stock steel covers.
