[Healeys] Sealants

[Steven Kingsbury]

When I put my tappet cover back on, I'm going to use "The Right Stuff" and no gasket. A simple bead all around the cover, making sure to go around the holes for the bolts with a touch of red lock tite on the threads. Also, make sure you pre-install every bolt as they are different depths in the receiving holes. I thought I had it right, but then I had to move a few around to get them to go in the correct amount. 
   I have to do it again, (long story), but this time the engine will be out, I will take my time and I am now fore armed with the information. Best of luck!

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.
