Gary:
I use a regular flat washer with a rubber gasket integral =E2=80=93 can=E2=
=80=99t remember exactly what it=E2=80=99s called at the moment (bonded sea=
ling washer, or grommet washer). Use an appropriate sized rubber o-ring to=
keep it from wandering sideways into the undercut on the drain bolt.
I=E2=80=99ve used this system for 30 plus years on both Healeys without lea=
ks or problems, and they don=E2=80=99t have to be replaced at subsequent oi=
l changes. The one on the tri-carb had been on the car for 20 plus years =
=E2=80=93 a couple of oil changes per year.
When you=E2=80=99ve got the drain plug out or the car, take it with you to =
the auto parts store and fit it up to your satisfaction there. A couple of=
dollars should do it. Pretty sure the washer size is =C2=BE=E2=80=9D.

Subject: [Healeys] Crunch Washers
Thanks to everyone for your information. I don't think I'm going to pay $20=
for a crunch washer, but the information should allow me and my mechanic -=
- who works on everything from Lotus Europas to Checker lodge buses -- to f=
igure out something that will do the job properly.
Cheers
Gary
