Ordinary fibre washers between the nyloc nut and the cover were
originally fitted and these fulfilled the gasket function. ISTR there
was a tip on this list at least 2 years ago submitted by a lister who
had used domed nuts off a Honda motorcycle - or something along those
lines - and had quoted the part number. I passed that on in a club
magazine but can't now find the material. I did later see the result
of this on a 2000 saloon that had had a chromed valve cover and while
it certainly wasn't *original* it looked far better than three nyloc
with oil seepage at their bases.
