This is almost too elementary to be possible. Which is why, of course, it
mystifies me!
Chasing the oil leak on the TR3A, I had advice from the list about the
potential for distortion of the valve cover. Particularly likely since I
bought it used off E-Bay years ago and it's not correct. It has one of those
threaded holes for the evacuation hose that must go to the intake for
reburning, but which I plugged with a ss bolt.
Anyway, today I felt the edges for the first time and find it overlaps the head
surface on the dizzy side by three-eights, maybe more, meaning the Justin
Wagner seal only partially contacts the head surface. I don't know if it's
fixable.
Two questions:
1) Is the 3 valve cover narrower than the 4 (or could it be an MGB, something
like that?)?
2) Wife gave me a pressure washer a couple of Christmases ago. Any
recommendations on the soap to use? Cascade dishwasher? Carwash?
As usual, thanks everyone!
