<p style="margin-bottom:12pt">Ah, yeah, now I remember having to route the OP line across the scuttle. But, the tach drive is off the distributor, on the R/H side, no? I replaced the seal when we rebuilt the engine.<br clear="none">

Tappet cover, IIRC, is on the L/H side; that was my first guess since the oil isn't contaminated (until it hits the pavement). I didn't learn until after the rebuild that one of the tappet cover screws has to be shorter, lest one of the tappets hit it; always
wondered if I did that right or not. <br clear="none">

<p>The oil pressure take off is on the right side of the engine Bob. My guess would be the tachometer drive, the seal on the shaft hardens and cracks ( probably only about 70 years old, they don't make them to last) or the tappet cover. I
have found that the tappet cover screws need to be gently retightened af a few hours of operation. On the 100S they were all lock wired which tells you something!!
