[Healeys] Sealants

[Mark Donaldson]

Mike,

 

I would suggest cleaning the paint off the gasket-mating surface and simply apply a stock gasket.  Nothing fancy.  Nothing has leaked on my BN2, and I’ve owned it since 1978.  Ditto for the angle-drive.  In my many years of experience, I have mainly found that the designers got it right first time.

Finally got the Denis Welch tappets today after almost an entire month.  Woohoo.  Now comes the part where I button up this side of the engine.  Where are the most leaks on this side of the engine?  What should I use on the gasket for the tappet cover to seal it?  How about the angle drive?  Seal that or just crank it down OK?  Once this engine is together I would like to not have to take it apart again for leaks.
