- I appear to have some sort of gasket leak, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which one (or if I'm totally wrong). Here's a pic (it's large) http://my.voyager.net/~barak/MG/DSCN0503.JPG I've rep

- Well, most of the "wet" seems to be on the head itself, with relatively little on the block. So at first blush, I'd go with the valve cover gasket being the culprit. Now that you've replaced that, I

- I'd agree with the valve gasket. What kind of gasket are you using there? All the ones I have seen are cork. I always "glue" it on with some gasket maker on both sides to make it seal. (I also have a

- That's got to be the rocker cover gasket. Contrary to popular opinion the nuts do not tighten down until the cover is clamped hard on the gasket (and hence the gasket on the head) but only until the

- So your 1970 MGB has a 1967 vintage engine. Whos idea was it to hang the altermator with a short top mounting bolt without using a rear bracket? Some significant risk of breaking something from the v

- Yeah. it does. ;) Thanks, I never even gave a thought to all the pressure that would be putting on that front bracket. It was an idea by a mechanic friend that was supposed to be a temporary deal to

- Yes. A length of threaded rod and some jam nuts works nicely. Tighten the front first, and then snug the rear nuts up against the bracket just to keep the rod from vibrating around. Not likely. If it
