Richard, Kas' latest book has some very good info on this subject.
Also, search the archives for a thread I started on 31 JUL 11 "Sealing
the TR4 Rear Main Cap", especially Greg Solow's suggestion to use high
temp RTV on the felt bits. Tony's suggestion to read Jack's excellent
treatise on rebuilding the TR4 engine is also excellent.
There are a lot of us who've BTDT and got the whole collection of mugs.
