Hi All,

Finally warm enough here in Maine to give the TR6 a workout. Beautiful last
two days with temps way up to 70!

Last year I added an aluminum valve cover. It says Triumph Tune and probably
came from TRF. The filler cap is always oozing oil, not a lot but enough to
make a mess.. Not exactly sure if it's from the little vent hole or the
gasket but I suspect the vent hole. My engine is on the tired side so there
is a little blow by but there are provisions for that out the valve cover's
side vent.

Are there others with the same problem? What will happen if I closed off the
cap vent?

thanks,

Rick Patton
