Tappet Cover oil leaks

[Malcolm Parker]

My Ulster rep has an early type block and like Alan, I use a cast aluminium tappet chest cover from a Reliant SV engine which is a good tight fit top and bottom.  I use a cork sheet gasket.  I filed off the 'Reliant' name on the cover as it was readily visible if you looked at the exhaust side of the car.  So far I have had no trouble with oil leaks from the cover.
