[Mgs] tappet cover leaks

I finally got around to power washing my engine so I could  
definitively tell that my slight oil leak was the tappet covers.

Saturday, I'm going to replace the gasket on them.

Are there any tricks or "been there, done that, don't do what I did"s?

I figure it's
	Remove carbs
	Remove exhaust manifold
	remove covers
	clean covers
	scrap every bit of old gasket off covers
	make sure covers aren't warped
	gasket goo the gasket to the cover, let cure
	put on engine
	replace manifold
	replace carbs
	drive, be happy.


I now return you to your regularly scheduled female chest  
discussion. :-)

a Paul.
