Hi Simon:
Here is something that some of us have done here to eliminate oil =
seepage from the centre and rear tappet covers on the 6 cyl. Healey =
engine. We discovered a Subaru part that works perfectly =E2=80=93 =
=E2=80=9Cseal washer rocker cover=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 P/N 812764110. Any =
Subaru dealer should have it, or could get it for you. They come 5 to a =
packet at approx. $2.00 each over here. I=E2=80=99m not entirely =
certain of availability in the UK, but they should be available on-line. =
If not, and you wish to try them, I=E2=80=99ll simply send them to you. =
It would be no problem I=E2=80=99ve owned Subaru=E2=80=99s for many =
years =E2=80=93 currently a new Outback, and the dealer is close to me.
Only 2 per engine are needed =E2=80=93 the front tappet cover / =
generator mounting bracket uses a different system. I have stayed with =
the cork gasket =E2=80=93 if properly installed they are oil tight. =
(There is a rubber version available =E2=80=93 used on the MGB engine =
that fits the Healey). Be cautious to not overtighten the 2 centre =
mounting bolts =E2=80=93 the covers are not supported in the centre area =
and can distort.
I=E2=80=99ve no experience with the system that you were sent, nor have =
I talked to anyone that has used it.

Subject: [Healeys] Washer question
Not the most helpful topic title but here goes anyhow.........In a =
3000:-
There are three so-called =E2=80=9CCover, cylinder side=E2=80=9D on the =
RHS of the engine. That is to say three little hatches through which one =
accesses the push rods etcetc. The generator is mounted on the front =
one; the breather comes off the rear one. So....
Mine have always seeped a little oil, nothing much but I decided to sort =
it out. I ordered three new cork gaskets and the appropriate washers and =
seals for the bolts that hold the covers onto the block. Somewhat to my =
surprise I received:
1) 3 little bits of black rubber which resemble sections of rubber =
tubing about 6mm long and about 4mm across. They are, it seems, designed =
to go under the cover and but up against it to help prevent the outward =
creep of oil. The bolts would pass through them and slightly squash them =
in order that they fill the space around the bolt. See what I mean?????
2) 3 little flat fibre washers.
Now, it is these latter about whom I am confused. The tops of the covers =
has a slightly =E2=80=9Cdished=E2=80=9D area through which the bolts =
access the block. Into that dished area go, on my car at least, shaped =
copper washers that are, I suppose, designed to take up the slack =
somehow. But how will a flat fibre washer cope with a washer in a dished =
area without being crushed, breaking and thus rendered useless? Are the =
fibre washers to go under the copper, over the copper or instead of it? =
Or could they be designed to sit between the rubber and the inside face =
of the covers? ie they=E2=80=99d be tucked away inside the covers.
These parts are not in the BMC parts book.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon
