Hi Charles,
Hi Charles,
I replaced my tappet cover using a piece of Alumimium Plate 6mm thick. I drilled 4 x 3/16" vent holes quite near to the top at 45*. I machined a light channel up from the bottom edge to ensure that the plate was not held off by the Cylinder Fixing Nuts. To seal it I simply used a smear of Loctite SI 5980 instant gasket, but I suppose any good sealant of this type would do. I secured the plate using 2 bolts with plain and Fibre washers and to date I have had no leaks.
