Long story short: use annealed copper washers only.

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

The BJ8 from 29f 3954 used a cup washer with the short piece rubber (tubing)=
 to seal the bolt to the cover. Can be used on the earlier engines that used=
 a copper plain washer under the bolt head. Have not seen a fiber washer use=

Simon, we have been using the rubber and cup washers from the MGB for a long
time now on the two rear covers.  You have to use a longer bolt, but it is
very effective for stopping the seep from the center bolt hole.

Cheers.Bob

Subject: [Healeys] Washer question

There are three so-called "Cover, cylinder side" 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?????

Now, it is these latter about whom I am confused. The tops of the covers has
a slightly "dished" 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'd be tucked away
inside the covers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon
